A century ago it was the pioneering 'poverty' map which charted starvation and deprivation across London and the squalor of Victorian Britain.
Now a modern-day version of social researcher Charles Booth's influential health map has painted a similar picture of sickness and disease, but with very different 21st Century causes.
While many of the poor in London 100 years ago were suffering from starvation, the same areas in the capital today are rife with deadly Type 2 diabetes, caused not by malnutrition but by an excess of junk food.
