Methodology

Daily English Wikipedia pageviews for twelve London articles over the last year, from the Wikimedia REST API. All access methods and all agents, which includes automated traffic Wikimedia has not classified as a bot — spikes should be read as attention rather than as people. Titles are exact: a redirect returns nothing rather than following, so these are the canonical articles.
