11:58Now PlayingLudovic Kennedy reports on youth clubs in the Elephant and Castle area of South London.
He compares traditional youth clubs - like the one run by the Christ Church United Clubs at Kennington Oval, where young people can play basketball, table tennis and snooker, learn skills like woodworking, or film and music appreciation - with the more modern "teenage canteens" that are now opening.
The Teen Canteen is a less structured environment, and appeals to the type of young person that the traditional youth clubs often struggle to reach. What do young people like about the Teen Canteen?
