It’s one of the topics which the school chooses so it was between diverse places and regeneration. Our school chose diverse places so maybe you did regeneration instead?

didn't get taught this in Edexcel but I've seen it a tiny bit in the textbook:
Point 1: Specialised industries such as finance around London:
has led to increased pockets of affluence, and in-migration
Business, Finance and banking is 25% of the UK's GDP

Point 2: Decline of traditional industries such as coal and steel
Cheaper offshore imports outcompeted. Led to dereliction and spiral of decline

If you explain each significantly into depth you should get 6 marks easily

Deindustrialisation: major manufacturing industries such as coal, steel and textiles were located in the North. As they became increasingly unprofitable they were shut down, leading to high unemployment and economic decline. The South on the other hand was far more diversified and more resilient to the loss of manufacturing industries. The urban regeneration policies under Thatcher favoured the rise of the service sector in the City and this was coupled with the deregulation of the financial markets. This meant that the South East experienced a financial boom, leading many to call it the bread basket of England.
