I would just like to point out that the streets of London aren't paved with gold, and that the massive population expansion, forecast for London and the southeast, mainly due to foreign migration, means that the rich poor divide will continue to exist down there.

'Yet alongside prosperity lives poverty. 4 in 10 (or 650,000) London children live in poverty , 12% above the national average4. Child poverty levels in inner London boroughs are higher still; more than one in every two inner London children live in poverty6. Indeed, London has the highest proportion of children living in income poverty (after housing costs) of any region or country in Great Britain5.'
