I've long wondered this too.  I think it's very middle class and very "white English."  Why the aversion to Tories there?

I guess I'm just curious why the LibDems can do so well in SW London but they are dead as a doornail in NW and SE corners of London which are very blue. What sorts of people decide to live in the SE rather than the SW?

Class.  West is more affluent, east more working class and that pattern I think applies pretty strongly if imperfectly throughout London.  Lib Dems are a very middle class party.

The liberal minded middle class in North London are more Labour than in South London it seems - I'm guessing it's because it's more of an income and ethnic mix and Labour is a contender in those constituencies.  Duverger's Law at work.
