In 2017, Peckham (Figure 1) was named the most desirable place to live in London by the Times, with the newspaper saying that the area’s story is ‘the swift transformation of a crime-ridden, no-go patch of south London into a hipster rival to Dalston, and latterly a middle-class hotspot.’ This quote is referring to the processes of gentrification and hipsterification.
