Londongrad

In summer 2007 I confronted Alistair Darling, the chancellor of the exchequer, over the “Londongrad” phenomenon.

One recent Russian emigrant to ‘Londongrad’ (also known as ‘Moscow-on-Thames’), argues that, ‘if in the 90s Russian migrants were associated with mobsters and gangsters, now it will be a wave of so-called creative class emigration.’
