London vs Londoners: This London special of Icon considers the dislocation between the city and it’s inhabitants. We look at why Londoners commonly avoid certain areas of the city centre and explore London’s ‘edgelands’, areas on the outskirts of the city that are shifting its gravitational pull outwards. In the case of Elephant and Castle, through original reporting we see what happens when the wrecking ball clears away the old.
