It's hard to oversell this map - make sure to bookmark it and share it with your friends. Fantastic research that must have been soooo labour intensive: How has the population of evert single small geographic region across Europe changed from 1961 to 2024? You will want to study this map in detail. Source (keep scrolling for a while): https://t.co/2akdcsaBpm

If you've ever wondered about the City of London's odd street names, we've made a map showing how everything from Cheapside to Lothbury came to be. More info here -> https://t.co/E6U0zcuzNn

Mapping London’s most spoken languages

This map shows the incredible linguistic diversity of London. While English is the most spoken language in every borough, the second and third most spoken languages vary widely across the city.

Large immigrant communities have shaped these patterns. Polish, Turkish, Bengali, Gujarati, Urdu, Punjabi, Portuguese, Arabic, and Tamil are among the most common second languages, each concentrated in different parts of London. For example, Bengali is strong in Tower Hamlets, Punjabi in Hillingdon, and Polish across several western boroughs.

By the third most spoken tier, the picture becomes even more varied, with Spanish, French, Romanian, Nepali, Persian (Farsi) and others appearing. This reflects London’s role as a truly global city, where more than 300 languages are spoken in homes and schools.

Together, these maps highlight how communities from around the world have left their mark on the linguistic landscape of London, making it one of the most multilingual cities on Earth.

A new study by graduate students and professors in the McGill Geography Department reveals that micromobility infrastructure in Montréal - bike lanes, BIXI docks, etc.- accounts for just ~2% of street space, despite higher demand in key boroughs. https://t.co/kCgHTQU4JX

Aridity of North America. Aridity is usually expressed as a generalized function of precipitation, temperature and
reference evapo-transpiration. Higher values represent more humid conditions and lower values
represent higher aridity.
