How do you know if the yuppies are coming?
According to the Daily Telegraph’s London property Guide (and they should know) one of the first indicators is not a Starbucks replacing your old style caff, but the arrival of the ‘organic food shop’. Evidence for this comes from Property Design consultant Alex Michelin “they certainly want to live near a farmers market or an organic deli. It’s a major influencing factor”. So now we know – as soon as you see any carrotts with dirt on them – burn the shop down, and your neighbourhood should be safe for another year!
Naturally Kensington now has one of these yuppie palaces – Whole Foods on Kensington High Street – taking up space where a decent store could be. Perhaps its another venue to be picketted on November 3rd, with a few looted carrots rammed up Zak Goldsmith later in the evening!
