London Maps

It's archaic; Jews started to move out of Stepney in the '30's (for obvious reasons...) and also after the War. There are still little pockets here and there though.

A lot of the Jews in Ilford came from the East End IIRC.

In fact, I have an article from the Guardian about this.. (On my wall in fact, beacuse it has maps in it) with stuff about this..

Here it is (the bit specific to religion):

and here's the general special report it came from:

Above is the per centage vote by ward (from the London-wide list vote) in the 2004 London Assembly elections.

Unfortunately only some boroughs are covered as the source i used went offline.

I remember also doing Newham and Labour won every ward except for Green Street West and East Ham  South, which both went Respect.

I have a copy that I could send.. And you can get it here:

if it doesn't work search it in Google..

Oh wait those are the borough elections (interesting though, they've also projected the results onto constituencies, but sadly only for the main 3 parties).

I got the 2004 GLA results for the London Strategic Voter website, but sadly they are no longer there..

Have New River and Springfield wards ever been that far apart electorally? Weird. And o/c the Tower Hamlets results are an interesting reminder as to how much voting patterns there have changed (again!) over the past few years.

When I looked over the Demographics of the Hackney wards the North Eastern wards would seemingly seemingly be quite left-wing economically.. It might be because the Orthodox Jewish population are more likely to turn out and/or vote Tory in council elections.. 

And regarding Tower Hamlets I think you're referring to Spittalfields in particular.. I'm sure the July 7 attacks must've had an impact there..*

* Edit: Electorally, that is!

If I am reading that map right, it suggests that we should hold all our South Western London seats as well as Bermondsey, leaving Horney and Brent East to be a scrap between Lab and LibDem.

Perhaps, but I've seen the document I think Al might be getting the constituency projections, and the Lib Dems have their highest vote share in Hornsey and Wood Green. Also, the Tories topped the poll in Richmond Park and in Sutton and Cheam.. (Then again I think they did in 2002 of course).

I make Hornsey a likely Lib Dem hold, and don't forget that Brent East is being abolished (which makes a promising Lib Dem target in Hampstead and Kilburn).

I wish the document included nationals for the Greens and other minor parties.. I remember reading somewhere that the Greens notionally won more than 25 per cent in their best seat (Lewisham Deptford).

They wouldn't have a chance anyway. Deptford is a safe Labour seat, period. South Deptford has Green and Trot councillers now, but the north Deptford wards are some of Labour's strongest in London.

I personally think that the Greens could come second with 20%+ of the vote in Deptford the next time round, but it would still be a safe Labour seat.

Here's another social liberalism map like that in the demographics maps thread, but this time for the wards within the old LCC:

Now for some party maps, these are for the 5 parties that qualified to win list seats (through passing the 5% threshold).

There's some residual blue on the Labour map... negative percentages?

That'd be because I made it from the all-party map, but I can see what seems like one or two pixels, unless I've gone colorblind from looking at all these maps!

BUMP.. Another far right map..



31 years of the far right in (Greater) London.. Interestingly enough both parties got 5.3% in each of these elections, which allows for a more-or-less direct comparison of how the distribution of the far-right vote has changed over the last 3 decades..

Talk about White Flight...

That should've been the title of the map really..
