Do you know why we can't find Russian as the second speaking language on this map? Nov 13, 2014

Do you know why we can't find Russian as the second speaking language on this map, even though it is considered that a lot of Russian speaking immigrants reside in London?
It is because London is mainly occupied by Russian-speaking oligarchs who are too superior to use the tube. Russian, Ukrainian and other Russian-speaking olichars can be "met" in such districts as Chelsey, Kensington, Mayfair, Belgravia.

Interesting point, Oleg. I expect it is better to keep a low profile with statistics on the Russian diaspora right now. Although if there were a station to include on the map, it should be Green Park, famous for its polonium-laced sushi shop. http://www.designweek.co.uk/news/itsu-shaken-but-not-stirred-by-litvinenko-incident/1133469.article ▲ Collapse

Other reasons Nov 14, 2014

Or Russian comes in a strong third, but not quite enough to knock the second language off its spot. Or Russian is spoken widely, but not in actual clusters. Etc.
