That&#x27;s the thing, you&#x27;d need to demonstrate how &quot;coffee shop &#x2F; chicken shop&quot; density correlates with house prices over time, and whether it&#x27;s a predictor or a lagging indicator. There might be better correlators - art galleries and cocktail bars are probably other good ones, or most effects might be mostly priced in, or house price increases might be mostly related to investment in repairing shoddy properties, etc. etc.<p>I do think it&#x27;s a cute way for someone who doesn&#x27;t know London that well to quickly find likely up-and-coming areas, though and a good starting hypothesis.
