(UK) Centred on or based in London, England.
A British term describing something — a policy, media institution, industry, cultural perspective, or attitude — that is disproportionately focused on or biased toward London at the expense of the rest of the country. It's often used critically by people in the regions who feel that the capital gets all the investment, attention, and cultural cachet while everywhere else is an afterthought. The term shows up constantly in debates about the BBC, arts funding, rail infrastructure, and political priorities.
(UK, slang, obsolete) The beach at Brighton.
