South London is No.1
For many years, some of the most prodigious young talent in English football have had their foundations in south London.
And it’s not just football. Born in Lewisham and raised in Bromley, culture journalist Neef Ekpoudom’s roster of recent interviewees is striking for its anchoring in south London: actor John Boyega (born in Camberwell) and rappers Krept and Konan (raised in Croydon), Giggs (Peckham), and Dave (born in Brixton, raised in Streatham) included.
