Abstract
This study delves into the dynamics of gentrification in London, UK, aiming to find patterns and link socio-economic and physical neighbourhood characteristics to the likelihood of gentrification. This study uses a quantitative approach and uses secondary data from British governmental institutions and employs a timespan of 9 to 19 years. The findings shed light on positive associations between the likelihood of gentrification and the presence of historic buildings, the size of private gardens, limited improvements in public transport, a higher percentage of white residents and proximity of affluent areas. On the contrary, the increased distance to the city centre shows negative associations with the probability of gentrification. This study extends to the influence of recently gentrified areas on the likelihood of gentrification and shows a negative relationship, solely in some particular areas in the city. These nuanced insights contribute to the understanding the complexity of gentrification patterns in London.
