I’ve looked at some of the hotspots out there in suburban London, and they are generally town centres – there are a lot in London. Other clusters appear to be around some train stations and retail parks. The resolution of the data is a little poor – and we didn’t collect sufficient data – to be able to definitely assign clusters to schools in the area. If we collected the data over a much longer period, there may well be enough geolocated twitter activity (which is typically only ~2-5% of tweets, and we don’t have access to all Twitter tweets) in these particular places, for them to appear.
