'Postcard London' ???

Perhaps this is a side of London some dont want people to see, but it is there all the same.

Of course some parts of London have more of this type of housing than others, some parts are almost all this kind of housing, but what you have to remember is London is such a massive city, and overall many of these projects are more a less spread out all over the place.
