PANEL TEXT

What do people like about the area? Why do they live here?

Who lives here
This is a very diverse area. Over 700 people live here from many countries
English            Greek             Polish
Indian             Cypriot           West Indian
Italian             Swiss              Russian
Irish                Spanish
People have friends and relatives living nearby and there are many children.
Half of the residents walk to work. A special privilege considering that the average Londoner spends over 40 minutes getting to work on crowded buses and tubes.
40% of the residents do most of their shopping in the area.
What people like about the area:
‘its cheap’                              ‘central location’       ‘nothing’
‘its near work’                       ‘freedom’                   ‘community’
‘I’ve always lived here’
Why should we move out?
