If it wasn't for the generally welcoming nature of the UK in the 20th, 19th, and 16th centuries I wouldn't exist now. Nor would many of the current population I suspect.
What has changed London overwhelmingly since 1997 is the erosion of social housing and rampant property speculation. Swathes of it are no longer part of an affordable or livable city. People complaining about 'open doors' is a laughable distraction.
