I grew up in Pimlico, massive disparity there... Tho' when I was growing up a lot of the stucco Cubitt terraces were really tatty and resembled slums, total bedsitter land... As time went on it got much smarter but all the council estates are still there and there are loads of them and they're bloody huge! Very us and them there...
I also lived on a council estate in Chelsea for 13 years, million pound houses on one side of the street (in 1993) and us povos on the other... That community was really close knit, I rubbed shoulders with old money every day down the pub, it wasn't a problem either way... Chelsea is a weird place tho'...
