The Stoke Newington Community

What makes Stoke Newington distinct in North London and what it is becoming

By Lowri Griffiths, North London.

The Distinctiveness

Stoke Newington -- the specific North London village whose Church Street retains the specific independent high street character that the broader North London commercial geography has been losing -- is the accountability journalism of what the North London neighbourhood looks like when the independent retail has been maintained.

The Change

The change: the specific creep of the chain retail and the specific closure of the independent shops that the rent increases produce is visible even on the Church Street that has been the most resistant of the North London high streets to the homogenisation that the chain retail produces.

The Column

Lowri Griffiths covers Stoke Newington because the accountability journalism of the neighbourhood requires examining the specific high street that has resisted the homogenisation longest and whether the resistance is sustainable.
