Summary

The London brunch scene is experiencing significant growth, with many residents eager to indulge in their favorite breakfast and brunch spots. However, with the city's population set to increase by over one million in the next 20 years, there is a growing concern that London may not have enough brunch spots to cater to this demand. To better understand the spatial patterns of brunch affinity across London, data analysts used Location Intelligence tools to analyze satellite data and social media profiles. The analysis revealed that certain areas, such as Central London, are particularly popular for brunch, while others, like suburban fringe areas and green spaces, are less congested with restaurants. By applying Spatial Indexes and joining datasets from the Office for National Statistics and Population Mosaics, the team was able to calculate the total target market for each area. The results showed that there is a high demand for brunch in many areas of London, particularly those with high population densities. The analysis also revealed that some areas have a low number of brunch spots despite having a large target market, making them ideal locations for new businesses or franchises.
