[edit] Circle line

I've heard that CL includes the area within Circle Line. How about that?

Plausible to the north, east and west, but you have to at least take the river as the southern boundary. I would go further and include a whole chunk of the South Bank, but I'm not sure where I'd put the exact boundary there. Tarquin Binary 13:54, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Current poverty in East End

Its a bit of a myth that the East End is still alive with poverty. It would be a struggle to find any property under £250,000. Most of the 'real poor' have been forced out long ago. MRSC 08:42, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Complicated question, given that East London is a mosaic of deprivation and affluence. Just last year Tower Hamlets (followed by poor old Hackney, of course - and note how Islington is still way up there), was top in the UK on certain deprivation indicators. Source: Indices of Deprivation 2004 – District Level Summaries (Word Doc). It's extent that East London scores on. Better on Iv hell is out there

Oh, just to add that high property values can actually accentuate deprivation. Housing associations, for example, have taken that as a mandate to raise rents closer to what is seen as market value. So we have the inevitable 'poverty trap' that militates against people taking a job and losing their Housing Benefit. There is also the factor that so called market rents are distorted by Housing Benefit, in some areas, acting as a sort of govt subsidy to landlords. Tarquin Binary 09:03, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Sorry to keep adding. Just to say, that apart from the quibbles above, I have to agree with your correction in that, yes, middle-clas population has nothing to do with centralness. Tarquin Binary 09:09, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Inner London

This article sounds much more definite about what Inner London means than does that article. I'm very much inclined to tone down the "defined term" stuff here, and refer people to that article for the different definitions (such as that of ONS and NUTS). Alai 06:56, 8 May 2006 (UTC
