Arbusers

High Street North in Newham, East London is the street with the highest density of bookmaker shops in the World. At one point, this street hosted 18 betting shops belonging to various bookmakers. This density is reflective of a broader trend where bookmakers target locations in economically deprived areas, which often have higher foot traffic and lower property costs. The trend of clustering is not unique to Newham, several other areas in the UK with high deprivation also host dense concentrations of bookmakers, reflecting industry targeting patterns. ​Betting shops are disproportionately located in such regions, as businesses aim to maximise profitability by situating themselves in areas with the above mentioned characteristics.

In Notting Hill, there are book-stores, not book-makers.
