From Rye Lane to the big picture

We’ve teamed up with the London School of Economics (LSE) to bring you the most original ideas and findings on migration after Brexit.
Meet Suzi Hall, an architect-ethnographer and Director of the LSE Cities programme, who studies the inner workings of multi-ethnic streets in five British cities. Suzi took us to a super-diverse street in South London, Peckham's Rye Lane, where proprietors from more than 20 countries run their businesses on the 10-min long stretch.
We asked Suzi what we can learn from Rye Lane, in terms of how migrants get on the job ladder, what streets like this mean for the economy, and what we can learn about the ways migration shapes modern cities.
