Not many illegal things are sold here. There is also an estate agent here. There are sometimes a lot of people here, so crowding does occur especially around the pub in the middle. If the area.
Pennine Drive:
Pennine drive is a very small area with a few shops. There are only around 12 shops, although there such few shops there are still comparison goods sold. There are around 2 dry cleaners, a kitchen and bath room shop, a take away and a few take aways’s, and a post office. Things are sold cheaply over here, because most things are convenience;
My Predictions
I predict that Brent cross will be the best shopping centre, as it is the biggest, it has al sorts of good, it is close to a many bus stop, as bus stops come from up to 11 different areas, with a wide range of busses, this is good for transport and easy journeys., it not that safe, however, there are many security guards around to hold off the fights and theft.
My 2nd prediction is that Pennine drive will be at the bottom of the hierarchy triangle. This is because it does not many have many shops, it is a small area, the area is full of vandalism and I don’t think it’s a safe area.
My 3rd prediction is that harrow will be 2nd in the hierarchy; this is because it has a lot of shops, all with good convenience and comparison goods. It is a big area with a lot of moving space, and there are a few parking areas in the area.
My 4th prediction is that Neasden will be below harrow because Wembley does not have much space, although it has a lot of shops and customers, there is a lot of litter and rubbish around, the area can crowd easily, and the goods that are sold there are illegal, this can also attract unwanted attention form the police.
My 5th prediction is hat ill see the most cars in Brent cross, this is because it has a lot of routes coming in and out of the area, and a lot of the cars take a trip past Brent cross.
My methods
To do this coursework I have to do a number of things to get my information as quick and efficiently as possible, this will be done in the following ways;
Questionnaire
Classifying shops
Bus count
People count
Environmental quality
Number of bus routes
Number of shops
The number of parking spaces.
Here are the reasons why I chose to do these:
Questionnaire:
These are a series of questions that will be asked to the public, this will give me an idea of what people think of the areas and what they think is wrong with it.
Classifying shops:
The reason why I am classifying shops is because the higher the percentage of shoppers, the higher the area is n the hierarchy triangle.
Bus count:
This is useful because it tell me the amount of busses that come by every 15 minutes, this also tell me how easy it is to get here, an many people catch busses to get to the area.
People count:
This will show me how many people come to the area, this will be done over a period of 15 minutes and this will tell me how popular the area is.
Environmental quality:
This will tell me how safe the area is, and it will also show me how clean the area is, if the surrounding area is noisy, if it smells, then the area is not a good place to shop.
Number of bus routes:
This will tell me how many areas busses come from to Brent cross; this will tell me how easy it is to travel here.
Number of shops:
This will tell how many shops there are, and will then tell me what type of goods is sold here, either convenience of comparison.
Number of parking spaces:
This will tell me how easy it is to get access to the shops, either through parking or walking.
Understand. For the first area I will do Pennine drive.
Pennine Drive
As you can see from this graph, there where 16 males and 7 males in the area while I was there. So obviously more males shop here then females.
As you can see from this graph, there were 3 people who were under 18, 9 people who were within the ages of 18-20, 6 people who where in between 30-50 and 5 people who were above 50 years old.
As you can see from this graph, there were allot of people who lived outside Pennine drive, 12 people actually lived in Pennine drive, 4 people came all the way from Edmonton, and the rest of the areas all had 1 person travelling from there.
As you can see from this graph 14 people took under 15 minutes to get here, these 14 are probably the same people who actual live in Pennine drive. 4 people took 15-30 minutes to get here, 5 people took 30-45 minutes to get here, and 0 took more then 45 minutes. So they must have been spent a long time in shops or just standing outside for a bus to come by.
As you can see from this graph 9 people caught a bus to get here, 8 people walked it here, 6 people drove here, and no one used any other type of transport. So this means people would not waste money to get here, or catch a bus, they would rather walk then waste money to get to such a small shopping area.
As you can see from this graph 14 people shop here daily, 4 people shop here twice a week, to people shop here weekly, and 3 people have different times. So as you can see people shop here daily for the convenience goods.
As you can see from this graph 15 people spent less than 15 minutes here, 3 people spent 15-30 minutes here, 5 people spent 30-60 minutes here, and 0 spent other times. This means that people spend quiet a lot of time here, which means it must be a good place to shop.
As you can see 11 people spent under 5 pound here, 7 people spent 5-10 pound, 4 people spent 10-50 pound and 1 person actually spent more than 50 pound (this could be due to the fact that they must have been buying from the more comparison shops, e.g. the bathroom and kitchen shop that was there.)
As you can see from this graph 12 people came because of the convinence goods here, 1 person came because of the “good reputation”, 1 person came because it was clean, howevber from what i saw it was not so clean), 5 people came because of the range of shops, and 4 people came because of other features.
As you can see 17 people said the shops are suitable for the area, and 6 people said they were not. This means that people think that that the shops are suitable for the area, because it is a quiet area, the fact that its just a few shops means it is good, it will stay a quiet area, and you can still buy what you want.
As you can see 9 busses went passed in 15 minutes. This means it must be easy to get to pennine drive, because that is a decent amount of busses per 15 minutes.
As you can see from this graph 20 people went passed in 15 minutes. This means that not a lot of people actually go by this area, so it must not be a busy place.
As you can see 28 cars passed in 15 minutes. Not many cars pass here in 15 minutes, so it must neve get to busy here.
As you can see only 2 taxis went passed in 15 minutes. This means not many people would catch a taxi to get here.
As you can see from this graph pennine dive is not a good place to shop, 5 being the low end and 1 being the high end, everything is 3 or above, not a good sign. It is not a clean place, there was a bit of music coming out from somwhere, there was a lac of seating, and access to shops was not that good, as there as a step to a few shops, disabled access was limited.
As you can see from this graph 2 people i surveyed were male and 3 were female.
As you can see from this graph 4 people where within the ages of 18-30 and 1 person was within the ages of 30-50. his means more young people shop here than older people.
As you can see from this graph people came from different parts of london, 1 person came from kilburn, 1 from colindale, 2 from barnet, and 1 from neasden, this means people will be willing to travel for brent cross. As you can see people travel for up to 10 minute to shop here.
As you can see from this graph 4 people took under 15 minutes to get here, and 1 person took 15-30 minutes to get to brent cross. As you can see 1 person travelleg for quiet a while just to get to Brent cross, this obviously means that this must be worth it, which is why it is so high on the hierarchy table.
as you can see from this graph 3 people travelled in a bus, and 2 people travelled in a car. So as you can see people would not wantr to waste there petrol to get here, so it must not be worth that much to get here.

As you can see frmo this graph 4 people spent £10-£50 and 1 person spent more than £50. This means that people are willing to spend a lot money here, this is due to the fact that there are so many shops, with high priced items, e.g. jewelry shops and other comparison goods.
As you can see from this graph all the customers came due to the fact that they had a range of shops. This means that people only come for the range of shops howevber due to thae fact that so many people come here, there must be quiet a few people who come because it has a good reputation.
As you can see from this graph everyone i gave the questionnaire to said that the shops were suitable. This means people like brent cross and think it is very convinient for there shopping needs.
