I seriously don't get this. Is it your intention to move around London in search of areas that don't have a TK Max or a Starbucks? You were in Brixton for a couple of years and bemoan a bit of inward investment and shops that offer jobs for local people. My girlfriend's kids were born and grew up in Brixton and they quite like having amenities on their doorstep, rather than having to trek to Clapham Junction or Oxford Circus. We musn't upset the tourists looking for something more edgy though...
