Explore UK Crime Data with Pandas and Geopandas

In this workshop you will learn how to expand your Python data analysis skills to geospatial data. The workshop is aimed at people who are interested in data science and data analysis.

If you are interested in this workshop, but have not used Pandas before you should be able to follow along if you read this 10 minute tutorial on Pandas before the workshop:
http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/getting_started/10min.html

During the workshop we will analyse UK Crime Data with Pandas and GeoPandas in a Jupyter notebook. We first will look at the properties of geospatial data and explore the different commands. After you have learned the basics we will go through some exercises analysing the UK Crime Data to explore patterns and trends and create a few maps of crime rates in London.

Please bring a laptop as this is a hands-on workshop.
