New Malden in the FT
Matthew Engel from the Financial Times has been to New Malden. In his report on the town, which he calls a “bland and discreet commuter suburb”, he discusses the Korean community and the reasons why it exists in New Malden, and why community cohesion has worked better here than it has elsewhere
Whilst describing New Malden as a success story, Engel remarks:
“It is easy to forget the low-level irritation felt by the locals every time a long-established shop closes and gets replaced by yet another Korean business. That does seem to be as bad as it gets, though. As one woman put it to me, “If you’re going to have an ethnic group in your community, I recommend the Koreans.”"
