New: I've published the geographical templates behind the UK cartogram maps shared here recently. There are four geopackage files for MSOAs, local authorities (both lower-tier and upper-tier), and constituencies. All on the @commonslibrary github here: github.com/houseofcommonslib…

The new 'uk-hex-cartograms-noncontiguous' project also includes a description of the 'exploded' cartogram format, some example maps, a write-up of what's in the geographical files, and some of the reasoning behind the design decisions. github.com/houseofcommonslib…

Currently the templates are available as geopackage files. Let us know if there are alternative formats that would be useful to have. Hex grid coordinates for MSOAs are already on the to-do list. We'd also love to hear/see how these templates get used in your projects!

Tagging in a few folks who (I think) enquired before about the templates above: @MattTurnerSheff @charliejmccurdy @geospacedman @aawfitz Please do share with others who you think might be interested.

May be worth including a line on the diagrams referring back to the GitHub repository / you - so appropriate credit is given for the mapping layout.

Yes indeed - I plan to add a short URL to future versions.

Good to see this data getting some attention. I made an interactive version of the msoa data. wisemover.co.uk/creds/covid/
