Billboards tell the stories of professionals who can't afford London anymore


The London is Changing project collects the personal stories of professional people who are leaving the city because it has been remade as a playground for the global rich.

Our neighbourhood has had most of its affordable housing and office space scraped to the ground and replaced with high-rise, million-pound luxury flats intended for offshore millionaires who use them as safe-deposit boxes in the sky — a safe place to squirrel away money made through semi-criminal endeavors in authoritarian regimes abroad.
