New Malden's North Korea (2013) Online
If you want to learn about life in North Korea, visit South London. New Malden is an easy 9 miles from Charing Cross station for its City commuters, and an incredible 6350 miles from North Korea, for its growing population of defectors: refugees escaping a 'totalitarian' and 'Stalinist' dictatorship. Although the UK policy is to distribute refugees countrywide, out North Korean population often choose to relocate to New Malden. What holds them together isn't just a common language, a love of football, and geography, it's a knowledge of torture, suffering and control that their local neighbours may otherwise never truly understand.
