A London Lost: The Death of an English City

screen grab youtube

London has changed. Not just in the organic way that history usually demands but drastically, irrevocably and in the space of a generation. It is no really a British city, much less an English one. Unprecedented demographic change has seen to that. And its character, its very essence, once based on centuries of shared history and experience, is now defined by what are called its “values”, a set of modern beliefs to which the modern Londoner should sign up. In this very personal documentary, Peter explains why, like hundreds of thousands of other Londoners, he has left London, a city which he no longer regards as home. He asks whether we are saying goodbye to London. This is Episode 12 in our acclaimed documentary series #NCFHeresies. To see other episodes in this series please see:    / @newcultureforum
