House prices have rocketed for people buying and renting property in east London, forcing some of the settled residents out and ushering in a new wave of typically richer residents.
That is causing tension in the community - as witnessed by the attack on the Cereal Killer Cafe in Brick Lane at the weekend.
What is the solution? We're debating this on BBC London 95.9 right now.
It will stay dry this evening and overnight with some clear spells perhaps allowing a few mist patches to form by dawn, especially along prone stretches of the River Thames.
It is going to turn chilly overnight, especially in rural areas, but giving way to a pleasantly warm day tomorrow.
Minimum temp: 10C (50F)

Alston was cleared in August of molesting the boy on Cavendish School grounds and also of creeping into his tent on a camping trip after "story-time".

Jurors heard that Alston and Righton groomed the boy during visits to their flat when they bought him toys and cigarettes.
The victim confronted Righton about the abuse when he was 16, but had been too embarrassed before then to raise the subject, the court heard.
