London contrast resedential wealth and poverty?
What street/road of London has the sharpest contrast between wealth and poverty?
It must have these conditions -
The contrast must be of walkable or very short distance (so has to be a particular street or streets /postcode) and it must be resedential properties compared -not business

There are probably too many to mention, but having visited this one you really get a sense of how the rich and poor lived together, yet apart.
Poverty:

Unfortunately Google did not drive down and photograpah the small road at the end, to the left and right:

History:

Wealth:

History:

Incidentally, Ely Place has one of two alleys leading to one of London's most famous hidden pubs:

Sutton Square in Hackney is a 1980s development near Homerton High Street and numerous council estates.
While the World's End Estate in Chelsea is a stone's throw from multi-million pound houses.
