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.

    • and when it's such a small increase, it doesn't really matter, does it.
    • I’m not trying to say anything.  I’m explicitly citing the example of the party with most to gain by saying “councils waste money.  We will go in and bust that whole nonsense up!” Only to go in and go whoops. We need more money not less ive deliberately posted a link to a sympathetic (to them) news outlet specifically so no one can go “well the guardian would say that”   why try and hypothesise? 
    • Marveling at the chutzpah of Brexit supporters wanging on about a 4.99% increase in council tax which equates to circa £94/year for the average Band D, whereas it's conservatively estimated* that Brexit has cost each UK household circa £1k/year.  At least with council tax there are actual tangible benefits e.g. weekly waste clearance.  *Based on BoE report 2023...
    • so to summarise, "Party X is stating that Council Y is financially inefficient and saving can be realised or efficiencies made, but when the exercise has been completed, it was found that no savings were achievable". I don't know if you are trying to say that has happened or that if it does happen, that is what would happen.
