Thanks are due to our colleagues at Centre for London – particularly Richard Brown for steering and contributing to this project, and Silviya Barrett who developed the original proposal. The views in this report are nevertheless those of the authors alone, and any omissions or mistakes remain our own. Finally, we would like to thank our sponsors: Be First, Brick by Brick, and the London Boroughs of Harrow, Lewisham and Southwark – without whose generous support this report would not have been possible.
