Are you a geek in the United Kingdom? Well, you may want to hang out with some other geeks and thanks to the finance blog Onward, you can now know the best places in the UK to meet geeks of similar interests. The blog looked at 20 of the biggest cities in the UK and looked at how friendly they were to different kinds of geeks. The categories of geeks were comic book, video game, board game, convention, book, movie, and music/record geek. They looked at how many hotspots for each category (such as a comic book store, game store, convention, theater, etc.) and put that per 100,000 people. You can check out the infographics below, but the gist is the following list of which cities reign supreme for each category:
-
Comic Book Stores: Londonberry (2.22)
-
Video Game Stores: Lisburn (2.82)
-
Board Game Stores: Aberdeen (1.43)
-
Comic Conventions: Swansea (0.67)
-
Book Stores: Edinburgh (4.76)
-
Cinemas: Londonberry (3.33)
-
Record Stores: Bristol (2.24)
Of course, the data will be a little flawed as I’m sure there are other hotspots such as board game cafes that could’ve been taken into account as well. However, this is still pretty cool to look at. What do UK citizens think?
