It is quite interesting to see the difference between the spot where tourists from far away visit and the spot where locals are supposed to visit by day trips.

Details are as below.Locals and Tourists - a set on Flickr

London. Blue is "local people" (those who take pictures for over a month in the London metropolitan area), red is "travelers" (people who are considered locals of other cities and photographed in London Is less than 1 month)). It is yellow if it is a local people or a traveler who can not be judged (in any city you have not taken a picture for more than a month, there are too few photos you posted etc).
