Also worth pointing out that many of those estates have had huge investment and pretty nice with excellent playgrounds, outdoor spaces, etc.

Islington Council has done an amazing job despite a 70% - yes 70% - reduction in funding. There is still huge deprivation on those estates. They need money spent on them. There needs to be more social housing. The money simply is not there.

Famously, life expectancy varies by over ten years between adjacent streets in Islington. Also in Camden.

EDIT: At least it did about ten years ago when I worked for those respective NHS trusts. Might have changed since.

Both Boris Johnson and Tony Blair used to live within spitting distance of the most deprived estate in Islington.
