Book excerpt: Which borough of London is the happiest? Where are the city's tweeting hot spots? How many animals does the fire brigade save each year? Which London residents have left their mark on history? Where are London'smost haunted houses (and pubs)? What makes London the information capital? Geographer James Cheshire and designer Oliver Uberti could tell you, but they'd rather show you. Combining data with stunning design, this book shows us the city as we've never seen it before-from who lives the longest to how flights stack over Heathrow, from 'The Knowledge' of a cabbie to the territories of London's thirteen football tribes. The result? One hundred portraits of an old city in a very new way.
