London’s outer suburbs have stereotypically been portrayed as safe, boring and uninspiring, especially against more dynamic central districts. Yet London’s suburbia has proved a fertile seedbed for creativity, particularly in contrast to an increasingly gentrified and generic centre. Speakers including sociologist Rupa Huq, geographer David Gilbert, writer Tim Lott and artist Nico Hogg, consider the trajectories, contradictions and possibilities of London suburbia. Chaired by Paul Barker author of The Freedoms of Suburbia.
