Features In a quiet London suburb, North Korean defectors search for homeNew Malden provides a place where refugees can blend in. But they carry with them the memories of those left behind. On the surface, the London suburb of New Malden is much the same as any other small British town. Pubs and convenience stores dot the streets, along with fast food joints like McDonald’s and KFC.
