London itself is very divided. There's plenty of money in a few select areas, but wastelands of poverty around them.
The UK has a huge reservoir of natural talent which it's doing its best to destroy. Plastic populism suits the ruling class much better than invention and originality.

You can find the wealth and the poverty very close by, even at the same London address. i.e. a flats with huge book value, privately owned; and rented out to struggling people who will never be able to afford to buy their own flat.
