London has changed. Not just in the organic way that history usually demands but drastically, irrevocably and in the space of a generation. It is not really a British city, much less an English one. Unprecedented demographic change has seen to that. And its character, its very essence, once based on centuries of shared history and experience, is now defined by what are called its "values", a set of modern beliefs to which the modern Londoner should sign up.
In this very personal documentary, Peter explains why, like hundreds of thousands of other Londoners, he has left London, a city which he no longer regards as home. He asks whether we are saying goodbye to London.
This is Episode 12 of documentary series #NCFHeresies.
