Postcode Tectonics

[circa 2006] I follow the cracks in the pavement. Are these signs of London’s shifting boundaries? Postcode tectonics. Estate agents are the new geographers. Kilburn becomes West Hampstead.

White goods dumped beside the Archway Road. A fridge lies on its side, door gaping open, cable sprawled across the pavement. Inspired by Suicide Bridge (what is its real name?). Victims of London’s property boom.
