Introduction   

The aim of my coursework is to identify the areas in Greenwich, which are or can be labelled a honeypot. I am going to achieve this aim by collecting factual information to accept or reject my hypotheses.

My four hypotheses are:

1. If Greenwich is a honeypot, there will be many pedestrians in an area, the area will be busy. This is because if the area is a honeypot, lots of tourists will go there to see the attractions and to see what it is like.

2. Another way I can find out which areas in Greenwich are a honeypot, is by looking at the conditions of the environment. I predict that if the area is a honeypot, the surrounding area will be clean and tidy. I think this because if the area is a honeypot it would be good for the local economy so the council will try to make the area look as nice as possible so that tourists will come back.

3. I think that the areas in Greenwich which are honeypots will have many tourists. The tourists would be in Greenwich because they might have heard from someone it is a nice place or are visiting a certain attraction.

4. My final hypothesis is that the pricing in cafes/restaurants will be higher in honeypot areas. This is because when selling food a café would put its price up as more people visit so they are secure and would be able to put the prices up.
