1. Posh Daddy from Negeria
Posh Daddy is the manager of Big Choice Barbers on Peckham High Street. It is a West Indian and African hairdresser's. These two black communities haven't always gotten along well together.

4. Portuguese soccer fans in the FC Porto Fan Club in Stockwell
"Soccer is a passion for us," says Jose Antonio Costa, the president of the Porto Fan Club which meets in Stockwell. "Many people come for friendship—you know, in a foreign country, you feel more comfortable with your own people." Eric Santos, the owner of Santos's cafe near the club, says, "People come for my wife's baca/hau—salted cod, made with potatoes and onions. Delicious!" There is a pretty big Portuguese-speaking community here, from Portugal, Brazil, and Madeira, but they do not always stick together. "Everyone looks after their own interests." The Portuguese and the Madeirans, in particular, are very separate groups in London, because Madeira wants independence from Portugal.
