Knowning a lot of London
I find it interesting that certain other poor areas were NOT looted...
Bow
Mile end
Finsbury Park
Clapton
Plaistow
Forest gate
I think Holloway escaped...
My own area, Walthamstow and Leyton, got off VERY lightly on Sunday
These places all have one thing in common other than being full of poor, disenfranchised people.
The shopping facilities are crap.

Yep same thing down my way
Plenty of poor kids living on estates, but not high street with any shops worth nicking from.
Funny that.

Oh very much this
I live in SE London and the areas I would have expected to go up - New Cross, Deptford, Charlton, North Greenwich to name but a few - all seemed to have very quiet nights. Again, all fit the profile above.
