"You may say cupcakification of Hoxton is inevitable: Deptford or Tottenham will emerge as London’s new creative heart, talent will rise. Maybe. But just now, with under-25s prevented from claiming JSA, a refusal to regulate the rental market, a box-ticking arts bureaucracy, an asset-sweating corporate culture and a utilitarian view of education, I’m not sure we can take that for granted.

To put it another way, if artists are the shock troops of gentrification, then nine-course tasting menus are the infantry and luxury gated developments the heavy artillery. When the war is won, they will build a triumphal Gail’s Bakery in the Shoreditch Box Park and the kids will clear out for good".
