Neighbours watching over neighbours strengthen community bonds
A study of the capital’s community life has celebrated London neighbourhood watch, the quiet, voluntary network through which neighbours look out for one another, the residents watching over their streets and each other in a way that strengthens community bonds and makes the vast city feel a little more like a collection of caring villages.
