8. Once the rough hewed Bedford Arms, now the über-loungey Clapham North. Deli’s, designer boutiques, wine bars, specialist food shops – butchers, fishmongers Traffic control measures inc. resident only parking
9. The geography of Gentrification Zone 2 on the underground is the area experiencing gentrification, especially to the South and West of London. Why?
10. In south London, following the course of the Northern Line tube above ground is a bit like following the path of a gentrification brush. It started sweeping Clapham North in the late 1980s and is now steaming through southern Tooting on a seemingly relentless march towards Morden in Surrey (the end of the line). There is a very distinguishable pattern of increasing property prices (a 3-bed Victorian cottage near Tooting Broadway tube station recently went for £250,000, over double its value two years ago) and 'new middle-class' service establishments ('trendy' cafes, bars, delicatessens, health and fitness clubs - virtually unthinkable in a place like Tooting as recently as five years ago) as one follows the Northern Line’s southbound progress.
11. Gentrified houses in Islington Possibly, these changes in Islington provided fewer opportunities for other incoming 'migrant' groups to develop the neighbourhoods for their own and actually a lower proportion of Islington's population comes from ethnic minorities than other nearby boroughs. The type of flats the previous residents may have moved to. When they lived in the houses they were very run down and they may have been pleased to move to modern flats.
12. Positive Negative Displacement through rent/price increases Secondary psychological costs of displacement Stabilisation of declining areas Community resentment and conflict Increased property values Reduced vacancy rates Loss of affordable housing Unsustainable speculative property price increases Homelessness Increased local fiscal revenues Greater take of local spending through lobbying/articulacy Encouragement and increased viability of further development Commercial/industrial displacement. Reduction of suburban sprawl Increased cost and changes to local services Displacement and housing demand pressures on surrounding poor areas Increased social mix Loss of social diversity (from socially disparate to rich ghettos) Decreased crime Increased crime Rehabilitation of property both with and without state sponsorship Under-occupancy and population loss to gentrified areas
