Tower Hamlets, Wandsworth and Newham experienced the most gentrification of any of the London boroughs between the years 2010 and 2016, a new study has found. Research carried out by think tanks the Runnymede Trust and CLASS showed that housing became less affordable in these areas during this time as middle-classes buyers snapped up property. Meanwhile, Havering, Bexley and Bromley were the London boroughs to least be affected by gentrification.

More than 150,000 workers and youth marched for victory to Palestine from Speakers Corner in Hyde Park to the Israeli Embassy in Kensington on Saturday afternoon.

OUTRAGE erupted today against government inaction after a fire that ripped through a London block with Grenfell-style cladding left 40 people in need of treatment.
The London Fire Brigade (LFB) was called to the 19-storey New Providence Wharf development, near Canary Wharf, this morning, where a fire engulfed three floors.
Two adults had gone to hospital after suffering the effects of smoke inhalation and a further 38 adults and four children were treated at the scene, LFB said.
About 22 per cent of the building’s facade features aluminium composite material polyethylene (ACM PE) cladding panels, which were found to be a key factor in the 2017 Grenfell fire.
