Retirees flock to London

19th September 2014

Deborah Mattinson of research group Britain Thinks claims that older people are flocking to London rather than moving to quiet seaside towns, traditionally associated with being havens for retirees. She commented “Older people can afford London. Often they’ve got property, which means that they don’t have to worry about where they live. They like the atmosphere, they like its diversity, they like what it has to offer culturally. They like everything about it”.
