The very highest values are in Woolwich the Royal Arsenal development and Gallions' Reach, on the other side of the river, along with the former Olympic Village in Stratford and central Isle of Dogs. The riverside focus for highly gentrified places does in fact continue further west along the River Thames, although only in the few places where significant land has been available for redevelopment or repurposing - such as Fulham Riverside, Battersea, Brentford and Hampton Wick.
The one non-riverside location with the highest scores on the gentrification index is the area surrounding and in the former Arsenal stadium is Islington. Many central London areas also score lower on the index as their population is already affluent and therefore less subject to wealthier incomers. The listed buildings and lack of undeveloped space mean that residential construction activity that most likely stimulates gentrification is almost impossible to happen here.
The same is true in Marylebone and Chelsea. They are very helpful and answer your enquiries as soon as possible. Everything was amazing! I really enjoyed my stay and even let a tear down my cheek when I had to leave : Thank you very much for arranging it! Apartment was very good with all needed appliance and dishes. The staff are ready to help with anything.
The housekeeping service is perfect. I had a very pleasant stay in the apartment and the support team have been extremely helpful. Great location and very close to local CO-OP shop.

Gentrification pisses me off only insofar as my finger isn't deep enough in the proverbial pie. Completely innocent comments like the one I have mentioned above about Brixton, or about Pimlico where I grew up, piss me off so much because whether right or wrong as a once-local person I do feel like I have some ownership over these areas.
Even though a SW postcode is thought by some to be practically synonymous with a Made in Chelsea lifestyle, Westminster of which Pimlico is a part has plenty of 'normal' residents too.
One such staple of this side of Pimlico is a pub called the Pride of Pimlico, which is most certainly not the pride of Pimlico. It is a typical Irish 'old man's pub': dark, dingy and so unpretentious as to almost be an anomaly of the area. Five years ago I witnessed a couple of Japanese tourists on their way to the nearby Tate Gallery came into the Pride. They sat down, were stared at suspiciously, and promptly walked out again. I'm not going to claim I ever really liked the Pride, or would have ever gone for any other reason than the big Irish family parties we invariably held there, but still.
An example of this can be represented through the local areas such as Hackney Wick, found between Victoria park and Stratford. The location, once known for its industrial production and transport along Hertford Union Canal, is now in the midst of rejuvenation similar to the one Shoreditch has experienced in the last twenty years. With an overground station which is not only now open 24 hours on weekends, but is also only one stop away from the internationally connected Stratford; Hackney Wick is now an appealing and somewhat affordable spot for the common commuter.
However it would be too simple to suggest that gentrification is caused by a villainous, greedy group of young rich people.
Can you blame these people for living where they can afford to in a city which costs more and more each year? Published in Features.
