Why I live in Thornton Heath: Yomi Adegoke on the south London area that's 'holding out' against gentrification
Yomi Adegoke's debut novel, The List, is set to be adapted for TV. She explains why suburbs like her neighbourhood are underrated.
Two years ago I bought a two-bedroom flat in a block near Thornton Heath station, which is almost like a suburb of Croydon. I'm five minutes from my little sister, 15 from my parents and a short bus ride from my best friend.
Growing up, my parents would worry if I went to Brixton or Peckham, but now those areas are gentrified, which is a double-edged sword. Croydon feels like how all of south London used to 15 years ago. Sometimes I think itÕs ungentrifiable. ItÕs holding out.

Why I live in Finsbury Park: Jeremy Corbyn on the ever-changing north London area he's lived in for 40 years
Jeremy Corbyn first moved to Finsbury Park in 1970 and marked his 40th anniversary as MP for Islington North this year. He tells why the area grows on you.
I've lived in and represented the area for a very long time. I'd hitchhiked to London and the lorry driver dropped me off on Holloway Road, so I stayed on. Finsbury Park and Holloway grow on you.
I lived in Harringay when I represented South Hornsey ward and moved back to Finsbury Park in 1984, after I was elected for Islington North in 1983.
Walking around with me is very slow - someone will always stop me in the street to follow up on or raise new issues, so I never leave home without my notebook.
The fascinating part of it is watching families grow up and people moving in and out. People from all over the world make their home here, so there's a lovely atmosphere. It’s a great place. It's home.
Jeremy Corbyn MP with his son Tommy Corbyn at his National Hemp Service shop on Stroud Green Road.

Linett Kamala' Area Guide to Notting Hill
Artist, DJ and Notting Hill Carnival board director Linett Kamala has deep roots in the vibrant, creative area. She tells how it's evolved.
I've been hanging out in Notting Hill since I was an art student in the Eighties. It's changed during this time, especially physically. Some of the properties were in an "interesting" state back then; some were in a really bad way.
There also used to be a more sizeable Caribbean community. Streets like All Saints Road, aka The Frontline, had much more of a Caribbean presence. It's still diverse and a magnet for people all over the world, but thereÕs new developments and new infrastructure.
I love how this area has always been so vibrant, and there's an air of creativity so a lot of people are involved in music and doing things for the local community and culture.

Linett Kamala' Area Guide to Notting Hill
Artist, DJ and Notting Hill Carnival board director Linett Kamala has deep roots in the vibrant, creative area. She tells how it's evolved.
I've been hanging out in Notting Hill since I was an art student in the Eighties. It's changed during this time, especially physically. Some of the properties were in an "interesting" state back then; some were in a really bad way.
There also used to be a more sizeable Caribbean community. Streets like All Saints Road, aka The Frontline, had much more of a Caribbean presence. It's still diverse and a magnet for people all over the world, but thereÕs new developments and new infrastructure.
I love how this area has always been so vibrant, and there's an air of creativity so a lot of people are involved in music and doing things for the local community and culture.

Why I live in Thornton Heath: Yomi Adegoke on the south London area that's 'holding out' against gentrification
Yomi Adegoke's debut novel, The List, is set to be adapted for TV. She explains why suburbs like her neighbourhood are underrated.
Two years ago I bought a two-bedroom flat in a block near Thornton Heath station, which is almost like a suburb of Croydon. I'm five minutes from my little sister, 15 from my parents and a short bus ride from my best friend.
Growing up, my parents would worry if I went to Brixton or Peckham, but now those areas are gentrified, which is a double-edged sword. Croydon feels like how all of south London used to 15 years ago. Sometimes I think it’s ungentrifiable. It’s holding out.
Yomi photographed within Thornton Heath Leisure Centre, High Street.

Why I live in Bankside: DJ Cuppy on her 'energetic and colourful' London enclave
DJ Cuppy reveals how she was drawn back to her London area, even if it is home to London's slowest traffic lights.
I fell in love with this area as a student at King's College and lived in halls on Stamford Street. After I'd DJed all over the world, I came back 12 years later to live and bought my first place. It has changed a lot in that time; it’s busier and much more luxe than it was back then.
You have to love colours and art to live here - Tate Modern is its heartbeat - and you've got to love diversity and be ready to give people directions!
DJ Cuppy is a Nigerian disc jockey and producer.

Why I live in Bankside: DJ Cuppy on her 'energetic and colourful' London enclave
DJ Cuppy reveals how she was drawn back to her London area, even if it is home to London's slowest traffic lights.
I fell in love with this area as a student at King's College and lived in halls on Stamford Street. After I'd DJed all over the world, I came back 12 years later to live and bought my first place. It has changed a lot in that time; it’s busier and much more luxe than it was back then.
You have to love colours and art to live here - Tate Modern is its heartbeat - and you've got to love diversity and be ready to give people directions!
DJ Cuppy is a Nigerian disc jockey and producer.
