I don&#x27;t necessarily agree with the premise of this article, as many other commenters point out.<p>To offer an alternative, my own theory is that the &#x27;up and coming&#x27; areas are cropping up down the <i>Shoreditch fringe</i>, i.e. Borough (which is seeing a lot of commercial and residential development, and Elephant &amp; Castle (same as Borough, albeit more behind in completion). Such a &#x27;fringe&#x27; also spills off into the East, too.<p>You could extrapolate this trend to Peckham, one of the primary areas the author has highlighted, however I doubt we&#x27;re going to get anywhere near same level of &#x27;pop-up&#x27; commerce&#x2F;entertainment in these much more southernly areas for some time to come indeed.
