Where in London would prices be worst hit because of Brexit/Whatever?

Options
Hi All,

Just wanted to get a bit of a debate going ...

Which areas of London do you think would be hit the hardest if there is a price drop/crash in this city because of Brexit or for any other reason.


The rich areas: Kensington, Westminster, Mayfair etc
The middle class areas: Islington, Southwark, Hackney etc
The working class areas: Newham, Barking, Catford etc

My mind says maybe right now there is a price correction going on in the rich areas but these will always be desirable to a lottt of wealthy people around the globe so they wouldnt really plummet.
The fight will be between middle class and working class areas.

What do you think???

Cheers,
-A

    You say that but do remember that the 10 full time employed chaps are willing to share that 1 bedder for a reason: Desirability :)

    Being serious, anywhere where people who rely on banks or EU money for jobs buy property is going to take a hit?


    I added a question mark because "EU money" is often just returned money that we have paid into the EU pot in the first place anyway?
