Between the 1970s-1990s multiple government inspections in the area saw a great amount of slum clearance, and gentrification therefore pushing out the remaining Italians. With Italian immigration having stopped around the 1970s, 2nd and 3rd generation British-Italians started integrating into British society and moving into the suburbs of London. Some of these Italians would move to the area around Wardour street and Old Compton street founding a second, smaller, Little Italy.
