Editing Stockwell (section)

==Population of Stockwell==
Stockwell and neighbouring South Lambeth are home to one of the UK's biggest [[Portuguese People|Portuguese]] communities, known as '[[Little Portugal, London|Little Portugal]]'. Most of the local Portuguese people originate from [[Madeira]] and [[Lisbon]] and have established many cafes, restaurants, bakeries, neighbourhood associations and delicatessens. Stockwell is also home to many people of [[Caribbean]] and [[West Africa]]n origin. They are also well represented in the local population, and cafes, grocers, barbers' shops and salons run by people from these communities are scattered around Stockwell.
