"Not many outlets selling fried chicken"... in Peckham?? I'm not sure the authors data is all that accurate.
- osullivj 11y agoI wasn't surprised to see that Tottenham seems to have the highest density of fried chicken. But I was surprised to see it seems to have more than SE LDN...
- jfg 11y agoYeah, looking at the Google maps location of chicken shops in Peckham brings up only about half the shops that are actually there.
- macNchz 11y agoNot sure where the data for the article came from, but I'd guess that there is some interesting socioeconomic skewing around the type of business and whether it can be readily found on Google maps or Yelp, since much of the data is crowdsourced.
- sfloy 11y agoTrue... the data came from Google Maps API and so maybe be a little incomplete compared to what's actually on the street at this moment
- notahacker 11y agoYeah, the data looks full of gaps. Can't believe there's none in Mitcham/Morden/Wimbledon either. The other issue is that the house prices start rising long before the fried chicken franchisees' leases expire and get taken over by fair trade coffee shops, artisanal bakeries and cereal bars. My street has two of the latter three, a real ale pub, a weekly "organic farmer's market" and a Waitrose but the pawnshops are still there.
