===Camden===
Dave Hill from ''The Guardian'' states that [[Camden]], which has its housing policy run by Labour, does not "generally seek to mix affordable and market[-priced] dwellings on the same corridors or sharing the same stairs, lifts and entrance lobbies", because the service charges and management charges for shared communal spaces can be a "significant proportion of housing costs" which may be "too high for the occupiers of affordable housing to pay".<ref name="auto"/> Hill states that the "wealthy and the least well-off having separate entrances into the same housing block may offend but can also be a pragmatic way of improving the supply of “affordable” homes."<ref name="auto"/>
===Lambeth===
In late March 2009, the Guardian broke the news about segregated play areas created by Henley Homes on the Lilian Baylis Old School site in Lambeth.
Henley diverged from the scheme that had been given planning approval, by erecting fixed hedges rather than gates, so children in the rented housing could look down on the central play area but not use it. They were allocated a small strip of grass on the periphery of the site. Some of the children on both side of the poor/rich divide went to the same primary school but couldn't play together. There was vociferous criticism from both owners and tenants, and the planning authority.
Politicians such as [[Jeremy Corbyn]] (Lab) and [[James Brokenshire]] (Con) have condemned Henley.
