A new map of London’s most desirable neighbourhoods has reignited the debate over where to live in the capital, challenging the idea that the city’s finest addresses are concentrated around Notting Hill, Chelsea and Maida Vale. The map, dubbed the “London squirrel” because of its outline, shifts attention towards parts of south and east London, including Peckham and Stratford. Its appearance has prompted renewed discussion about whether traditional assumptions about the capital’s best areas still reflect how Londoners live today. It follows the popularity of the so-called “London banana”, a map which began circulating online in 2025. That map traced…
