Main Problem I can see with mapping Red Light Districts is that the
minute they are known they move on, or are closed down by the police.
Its like trying to map Gang Areas, The people who know where they are,
are unlikely to map them as this could but them at risk.

Short of mapping the shoes hung over telegraph its not something you
can map without insider knowledge.

Of course it also puts the whole of the New International Train
Station in London (Kings Cross) in a Red Light District......
