Postcodes.io records Hampstead itself in NW3, with the Vale of Health and Gospel Oak as suburban areas of Camden in the same district, and West Hampstead and South Hampstead in NW6. Camden schools follow England's national curriculum, so give us the term dates and lessons will miss the holidays. ### London, Camden and our approach The wider picture is on [our London page](/best-coding-class-in-london) and [coding classes in Camden](/coding-classes-in-camden-london). Why we put reasoning ahead of tools is set out on [learn to think, not just use AI tools](/learn-to-think-not-just-use-ai-tools-uk). The Hampstead project ## Unusual values or unusual combinations? Mahalanobis distance on Camden Census areas Two linked measurements, two ways of measuring distance, and two different lists of outliers. The learner downloads two Census 2021 tables from the Nomis API for all 751 output areas in Camden. Across 92,763 households, 59,026 have no car or van. For each small area the program works out two percentages: households with no car, and households where one person lives alone. Across Camden the averages are 63.01% and 38.61%, and the two move together, with a correlation of 0.552: areas with more people living alone tend to have fewer cars. The ordinary method standardises each percentage and measures straight-line (Euclidean) distance from the average. The Mahalanobis distance does the same job but first accounts for the link between the two measures, so that being high on both, which is common, counts as less surprising than being high on one and low on the other. | Result | Areas | | --- | --- | | On both top-20 lists | 14 | | Only on the Euclidean list | 6 | | Only on the Mahalanobis list | 6 | | Beyond the usual 97.5% cut-off, Euclidean | 35 | | Beyond the usual 97.5% cut-off, Mahalanobis | 31 | The two rulers agree on 14 of the top 20 and disagree on the rest. One area has 65.0% of households without a car, almost exactly the Camden average, but only 10.7% living alone. Neither figure is dramatic, and the ordinary ruler ranks it 46th. The Mahalanobis distance ranks it 16th, because so few cars with so few single-person homes is a rare pairing here. The reverse also happens: an area with about 20% on both measures looks extreme to the ordinary ruler, yet low on both is exactly what the correlation predicts, so it drops out of the Mahalanobis top 20. Among the 60 areas in Hampstead Town and Frognal wards, where on average 44.38% of households have no car, 8 pass the cut-off on the ordinary ruler and 5 on the Mahalanobis one. ### Ages 8 to 11 Line up toy animals by height and weight and find the one that does not fit the pattern. ### Ages 11 to 15 Plot Camden's areas on a scatter chart in Python and circle the points that sit away from the cloud. ### Ages 15 and up Compute the covariance matrix and both distances, then explain every area the two lists disagree on. ### Census data, our distances Household counts are Office for National Statistics Census 2021 data from Nomis, and boundaries are from the ONS Open Geography Portal, under the Open Government Licence. The percentages, distances and rankings are our own calculations. "Unusual" here is a statistical description, not a judgement about any neighbourhood. Outliers and AI ## What this teaches about vibe coding and AI agents Choose the ruler and you have chosen which oddities get noticed. | In the outlier project | When AI flags something as unusual | | --- | --- | | Two measures were correlated at 0.552 | Features rarely vary independently | | 6 of the top 20 changed with the ruler | The method chooses the outliers | | A 65.0% and 10.7% area ranked 46th, then 16th | Odd combinations hide behind ordinary values | | A low-low area stopped looking extreme | Expected patterns are not anomalies | | A cut-off of 97.5% was our choice | Thresholds are decisions, not facts | Ask an AI assistant to "find the outliers" in a table and it will usually check each column separately, which is the ordinary ruler again. With vibe coding the learner explains the goal and an AI writes the code; our Hampstead learners then ask which distance it used and whether the columns are related. AI agents that watch for fraud, faults or odd behaviour make the same choice out of sight, and what they miss depends on it. We hold agent building until Python is a working tool for the learner, which tends to mean sixth form or later, and we teach Copilot Studio agents solely in private lessons. The principle is argued on [understand the code, don't copy-paste](/understand-the-code-dont-copy-paste-uk); the agent syllabus itself is on [the UK students' agents page](/ai-agents-course-for-students-uk). The Office for National Statistics, Nomis and postcodes.io have no connection with Modern Age Coders. We used only what they publish openly, and the analysis and its mistakes are ours.

[Python Masterclass](/courses/python-programming-masterclass-zero-to-advanced-college)[Generative AI Course](/courses/complete-generative-ai-masterclass-college)AI and anomalies ## What is Mahalanobis distance, and when should you use it instead of Euclidean distance? Mahalanobis distance measures how far a point is from the centre of a dataset after allowing for how the features vary together, so use it instead of Euclidean distance whenever the features are correlated. On 751 Camden Census areas with two measures correlated at 0.552, the two distances agreed on only 14 of the 20 most unusual areas, and one area ranked 46th by Euclidean distance came 16th by Mahalanobis. Learners who have compared the two ask of any AI anomaly report: unusual by which measure, and were the features treated together? Knowing which ruler was used keeps Hampstead teenagers from taking an AI's "anomaly" at face value, and that habit comes from writing the code themselves. The longer argument is in [why teenagers should still learn to code in 2026](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). How it works ## Live lessons for NW3 and NW6, online You need a computer with a camera and broadband that carries a video call. ### The learner does the work Every line of code and every prompt is typed by the student, with the tutor following on screen share and asking for the reasoning. ### First topic from the trial The free session shows what is secure and what is not; exam boards are noted where relevant. ### Trial without charge Lesson one is free and ends with a named course. ### Classes of similar level Five to ten learners from across the UK share a class at one stage. ### Two lessons a week Paused for school holidays. ### Same hour all year Tutors adjust for British Summer Time so your slot stays where it is. Why online Five learners at one level with the same evening free seldom live within a walk of each other, even in London. Video removes the problem. Fees ## Hampstead fees Hampstead learners pay our international rate, the one used everywhere outside India. First class**USD 0** A full free lesson, then a course recommendation.

FAQ ## Hampstead questions Outliers, the Census project, Python, vibe coding and practical details. ### How many people live in Hampstead? Hampstead has no single official boundary. At the 2021 census Hampstead Town ward had 8,016 usual residents, with Frognal, Belsize, West Hampstead and South Hampstead counted as separate wards. ### Are coding and AI classes available online in Hampstead? Yes, as live video lessons for ages 6 to 67 across NW3, NW6 and the rest of Camden. ### What is an outlier? A data point that sits far from the rest. How far counts as "far" depends on the distance you use and the cut-off you choose. ### What is covariance? A number that says whether two measurements tend to rise and fall together. Mahalanobis distance uses it; Euclidean distance ignores it. ### What does the Hampstead project involve? Measuring how unusual each of Camden's 751 Census areas is with Euclidean and Mahalanobis distance, and explaining the areas where the two disagree. ### Is vibe coding on the timetable? It is, whatever the age: the learner explains the idea, an AI drafts code, and the learner tests and repairs it. ### When can learners build AI agents? After Python has become a working tool for them, typically sixth formers and adults; Copilot Studio is taught privately. ### Is exam tuition offered? GCSE and A level computer science and maths are both taught, for understanding; no grade is ever promised. ### What do lessons cost? Nothing for the trial; then USD 100 monthly for a class place, USD 150 monthly for solo tuition. ### What happens at half term and in the holidays? Lessons stop for those weeks once we have your dates.
