The work investigates the urban transformation of London since the 2012 Olympics, gathering pictures taken between 2014 and 2019. Through images and text, including three interviews and a final essay, the author compares the current finance-driven development of the city with the post-war expansion built on council housing, showing how investment in social housing has been almost entirely eradicated.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
