What's it like to live in Brixton / Brixton Borders

Interesting:

Between 2001 and 2011, the “white British” population of London fell by 620,000, even as the population of London overall swelled. Every single London borough registered a decrease in its white-British population—in some, it was stark: Newham, in east London, lost 38% of its white-British people.

Yet look at ward level data, and it is clear that a few places buck the trend. Brixton Hill increased its white-British population between 2001 and 2011. So too did large parts of Hackney, Islington, Wandsworth and Camden. In Stoke Newington and Dalston—both parts of Hackney which have gentrified faster than anywhere—the white British population leapt up by 15% and 26% respectively.

People who bought under right-to-buy are selling up and moving to Essex, the people who are moving in are racially diverse, this being London, but nowhere near to the same degree as before. House prices and the benefit cuts will exacerbate this demographic shift, I reckon. Just look at the appalling fart-knockers the new Olympic Park flats are aimed at:
