Boffins have created a Twitter map of London to reveal the city's tweeting hot spots, with areas of the capital renamed to correspond with their traffic levels.

Peaks - which have been given names such as Soho Mountain, Camden Town Ridge and Piccadilly Rock - have been depicted as mountains and areas with few tweets are shown as valleys.

The project was the brainchild of 'Tweetographer' Fabian Neuhaus, from UCL's Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, who tracked the origins of the 120,000 tweets posted in London every week.

This appears to be the source of the newspaper article.


There may be a high incidence of twits from JAGS. Although JAGS describes itself as "on the Edge of Dulwich" it is actually in East Dulwich. You have to drill deep on www.jags.org.uk for this admission. The SE22 boundary performs some interesting gymnastics around North Dulwich Station.


I still can't relate the iso-twits to real world topography as there is no underlay map. My best guess is the "North Dulwich Top" is actually centered on Goose Green.

    • Some foxes are very tame. The foxes that live near the electricity sub-station thing on the corner of Calton and Woodwarde will happily walk up to you/passed you. They are some of the best looking foxes around so clearly being well-fed - glorious coats and bushy tails but interested in humans and keen to engage/be fed rather than being scared.
    • Let’s not all get scared of the foxes now. Most likely explanation is protecting its den or association with food. We have foxes, and cats and they are no bother to each other. The fox will leave when the cats are out.   
    • I remember seeing something a few years ago on TV about a fox that was actually biting through people's shopping / takeaway food bags.  It was situated in an alleyway.  Not in London.  Very interesting in how the  urban foxes brain development has  been affected by their surroundings.   Not an exact quote from Darwin.  It's the adaptable that survive / not the strongest or the most intelligent.   I would be worried if a fox came close me.   Because they might be after my fur babies and they carry a lot of nasties.   Although they look beautiful from a distance or on a 🎄 card.  
    • Driving down Lordship lane around 2.45pm today saw a v sick looking fox walking in and out of the crowd.
