The Modern Plague of London is a map showing the density of pubs inward fundamental London. On this map the release of pubs inward each kilometer foursquare is represented past times the size of the yellowish circles. The to a greater extent than pubs at that spot are inward a foursquare kilometer as well as therefore the larger the size of the yellowish circle.
The areas alongside the most pubs are by as well as large works life inward Westminster as well as the City of London. On the xvi x seven foursquare kilometers shown on the map (112 circles) at that spot are entirely ix circles where at that spot are absolutely no pubs. The 2 most fundamental of these circles are both nearly completely contained inside parks (Regents Park as well as Hyde Park). There are 2 circles which both incorporate no pubs inward south-east London inward South Bermondsey. Four of the other circles containing no pubs are works life at the extreme eastern column of circles on the map. These circles are all inward unopen proximity to the vertical population desert created past times the Blackwall Tunnel Approach Road as well as the River Lea inward London's East End.
The championship of my map, The Modern Plague of London', was stolen completely from an 1886 map created past times the National Temperance Publication Depot. The master copy Modern Plague of London map was a point map showing the locations of all the pubs inward London inward 1886. The master copy map doesn't extend every bit far eastward every bit my to a greater extent than modern version of the map. So nosotros can't encounter if at that spot were whatever pubs along the River Lee inward 1886. However the expanse inward South Bermondsey which instantly has no pubs tin terminate live seen on the master copy map. In 1886 this expanse did accept ane or 2 pubs merely was an expanse by as well as large covered past times a large railway junction - which is presumably why historically at that spot accept been real few pubs located inward this area.
Most areas of London instantly accept far fewer pubs than they did inward 1886. On the whole though I mean value it is most hitting how many pubs accept disappeared from London's East End. Huge areas of Tower Hamlets instantly accept real few pubs. If y'all had walked through these areas inward the Nineteenth Century y'all couldn't accept walked real far inward whatever direction without passing a release of pubs. In 2011, inward the concluding United Kingdom of Great Britain as well as Northern Ireland of Britain as well as Northern Republic of Ireland census, 38% of Tower Hamlets residents said they were Muslim. Obviously having a large per centum of the population who don't drinkable alcohol has had an lawsuit on the release of pubs which accept been able to hold out inward the borough.
The entirely argue I didn't create a point map of pubs inward London, similar the master copy Modern Plague of London map, was because I was inspired past times Jennifer Bell's recent weblog postal service on Wurman Dots. Rachel's postal service looks at the maps created past times Richard Saul Wurman inward the 1960's. These maps show density past times the size of the fills inward circles. Inspired past times Bell's postal service I wanted to endeavor my paw at creating a Wurman Dot map.
Strictly speaking circles are likely non the best choice for visualizing the pub data. The circles sort of imply that the areas inward betwixt the circles are non covered as well as that whatever pubs inward betwixt the circles are non included (which they are). Obviously squares or hexagons practise non accept this work every bit they operate out no gaps on the map. However at that spot is something real hitting almost Wurman Dots - which makes a peculiarly appealing visualization of the information (at to the lowest degree to my eye).
