Description: | Select Guide Rating From Kensington's crusading MP, an expose of the appalling inequality at the heart of Britain's wealthiest borough - the home of Harrods and of Grenfell Tower. Kensington and Chelsea - one of the wealthiest spots on planet Earth - is also one of the most unequal. A short walk from Harrods, families cannot buy enough food to feed themselves. Desperate overcrowding is found in the shadow of ultraluxury property developments. A 20 minute bus ride across the borough can encompass a 30 year difference in life expectancy. |
