After years of austerity, London is a city riven by inequality. Bathing in its newfound status as the pre-eminent destination for foreign wealth, the city has forgotten about those who can't afford to keep up. When a cash-strapped local council sell off their housing stock to developers, the lives of residents of the Bevan estate begin to unravel. Meanwhile, the wealthy homeowners living around Albion Park relish the prospect of the estate being demolished. Conflict is inevitable as the demands of developers and investors supersede those of a local community. Through a cast of unforgettably vivid characters, Albion Park provides an unflinching examination of a city in thrall to money and greed. It not only tells the story of a locale but also stands as a metaphor for the whole nation.
