Kingston Upon Thames. Must be one of the nicest suburban areas in the whole Greater London.
A few "commieblocks" sticking out in Norbiton (small area as a part of Kingston), "Norbiton skyscrapers" I call them. Not really wise to build 3-4 16 storey commieblocks in the middle of suburban sea of 2 storey private houses :|

great pics John. Is there Serbian town like this in London?
@KM
It's one of the boroughs of Greater London, although it looks like a typical suburban town anywhere in Southern England, population is about 150,000
@Singidunum
I don't think so, at least I don't know. I don't think it is common that there are "towns" of any Eastern European immigrants (even though there are many of them, not sure but I think there should be at least 50,000 Lithuanian immigrants in London, even more Polish). I believe it has something to do with traditions and mentality of peope, e.g. Koreans are keeping together and mostly interact only with each other (some even after spending a few years in the UK hardly can speak English. Not because they don't want but because they don't need it), they form a separate community and don't go much outside of it unlike European (either Eastern or Western) immigrants which can be found anywhere. Though I have to note that it must be one of the nicest and most pleasant immigrant communities in the UK what makes this area unique and pleasant
