Gentrification changes neighborhoods in London in some important ways:

• Displacing Long-term Residents: As rents go up, people who have lived in these areas for a long time are forced to move, breaking apart their communities.

• Loss of Cultural Identity: The unique character and traditions of these neighborhoods fade away as new shops and restaurants pop up for richer customers.

• Increased Inequality: The gap between the rich and the poor gets bigger when affordable homes are hard to find.

Possible Solutions:

• Creating rules to control rent prices
• Building more affordable homes
• Supporting local projects that help keep the community’s culture alive
