Today mapper extraordinaire Alasdair Rae is featured, who decided to make a map that would “split the population of the UK into four roughly equal parts using a big grid and then designate capital cities that nobody would have a problem with”.
Interestingly London, and the reason for this post, has been split. Not in the traditional cabbies’ Sarf of the River and Yes! I’m going Norf Squire. Alastair Rae’s map splits the capital in a north-west:south-east divide. This must show that West London has a less dense populace.
