AB Following the United Kingdom’s decision of leaving the European Union, much speculationemerged on the possible causes of this majoritary preference. Previous studies indicate thatin general, this election depended highly on demographic, economic and community characteristics, but scarce research has been conducted on a smaller scale. This dissertationattempts to test their conclusions by looking at two boroughs in London whose 2016 referendum results were strongly opposed: one the one hand, Lambeth, one of the most ‘proremain’ areas in the nation and, on the other hand, Havering, one of the strongest ‘leave’supporters. After analysing several aspects from the population, the economy, the environment and the governance of each place between 2011-2016, the results suggest thatthe demographic profile and the political and ideological preferences could be correlated withthe referendum results, whereas economic indicators and social issues do not appear to haveimpacted on the electorate’s choice.
