Might be the first time this has been done - an obesity map for child obesity for the whole of Greater London at the MSOA level - showing obesity by deciles.  Red is worst (most obese) followed by pink, orange, yellow, lt green, dk green, lt blue, dk blue, purple silver (least obese).  Now uploaded to Part One of www.fooddeserts.org

The social divisions in London show up clearly, obesity is strongly linked to wealth. Also interesting that London, supposedly more prosperous, has hiogher obesity levels than the UK average - because many of the really high earners of London actually live just outside the place, like most of our cities.
