London's life expectancy gap

Only a dozen Tube stops separate Mayfair and West Ham, but there is a 21 year drop in life expectancy between these two neighbourhoods.

Mind the Gap takes a journey across the London Underground to examine what life is like at these two extremes through the lives of the local people.

Living with Poverty: Mind the Gap is broadcast on Wednesday, 22 May at 23:05 BST on BBC One London and nationwide on the iPlayer for seven days thereafter.
