Residents living in a London suburb are bemused it has been named as being among the most gentrified parts of the capital - instead insisting it is a 'complete hellhole'.
Plumstead, in south east London, has been classed as being among the London neighbourhoods which have gentrified the most rapidly over the last decade, new analysis has found.
A study by the Trust for London charity has identified 53 areas where average income has grown by an average of 11 per cent between 2012 and 2020 - compared with a one per cent rise across London.
Plumstead High Street is number 38 on the list.
The idea of gentrification is typically described as a formerly poor urban area changing in character with wealthier people moving in, an increase in house prices and new businesses being attracted to move in.
