Figure 1.1 The SLSR within the London City Region. Source: CERI, Kingston University For many years the SLSR has been viewed as part of the Outer London belt which has been characterised as: “On most indicators, Outer London is healthier, wealthier and greener than Inner London and indeed most urban areas in the UK. Its residents overall are highly satisfied with life in their neighbourhood, but would like to see improvements on some very local environmental issues, including crime, litter and anti-social behaviour.” 1 This localised caricature has dominated the discourse defining the SLSR for several decades and has reinforced both the image and the function of the area, within the wider regional economy, as a residential dormitory provider of highly qualified senior and managerial staff. Ultimately, this perception has simultaneously reproduced the highly centralised development patterns of the broader city region (which includes the Outer Metropolitan Area – OMA2) and reemphasised the associated notion that the separate Outer London economies are concealed around localised retail and public services.
