The 'Amandaland effect' appears to have hit north-west London as the hit BBC show brings property prices up and has gentrified the district of Harlesden.

The comedy - which is a spin-off of Motherland - follows Lucy Punch's character Amanda as she moves to the district from Chiswick after her divorce.

And although she initially describes Harlesden as 'gritty' and a downgrade from her former neighbourhood - she makes it her own by renaming it South Harlesden, or SoHa.

Now, residents of the district say the real-life Harlesden is on the up and have credited the show for bringing more people to the area.

Local landlord Clovis Stephenson, 55, said he believes Amandaland 'is going to be good for Harlesden'.
