Tottenham Court Road: Crossrail in Time Lapse

[vickers2007]

Can't get in the way of progress, but it would have been nice for them to add a new music venue above the station.

Great...Another beautiful victorian building razed to the ground and replaced with a soulless glass box...nice one britian : /

[ThatsCorrectYesRight]

Those ants will eat anything !

[hopeysmoke]

would have been a great idea to build a new state of the art music venue on top of the new crossrail station with some quality food stalls around it....but no, they're going to build a shopping centre because there aren't many of those around oxford st....jeez

[YesIamEccentric]

Why didn't they demolish that ugly bastard that is centre point instead?

[aeronuk1]

Those beautiful old victorian buildings...couldnt they have kept the facades at least...

RIP Astoria and Dionysus, the best chips in London

[kingswitcher]

ta ta astoria, I ahd some great memories uopn your sticky floors, now there's nowhere decent to watch a band.

[Kevo216666]

Great idea for a project. Love it. Reminds me of those time-lapse films of insect/maggots etc devouring a carcass. Nice. Now let's see it in reverse! :)

[swezzy]

Wow, that's so depressing! Miss the Astoria and Mean Fiddler so much!

[stingeyes]

So long Astoria. It was nice knowing you.

[SirDamned]

Some American should buy it.

Heart breaking

[Zonbie]

oh bollocks - that is shame, I saw much awesomeness here

[woodentops]

aw ...R.I.P the Astoria

[FitzroviaTV]

The film plays better in reverse.

[ilayadarkroom]

*sadness* astoria was by far and away my favorite venue in london. saw so many amazing bands there.

[malign1369]

Such a shame that the Astoria was taken down.

[prnorth]

@malign1369 Not to worry, I'm sure we'll get a much needed WHSmith, Costa and Boots in it's place

[gcrockers]

BIG SHAME

I don't want to like this video!

PAIN!! I lost my job I lost my fun!

Fuck you TFL (Transport For London)

[Achtungmiche]

:(

Shame!

[HawklordPXR5]

Yeah I liked the venue, saw Hawkwind there 3 times. Wasn't so keen on the staff / security though. Then again, maybe they didn't think much of me either!

[Spaceshiptechnician]

Wow, what a shame it's now gone. I saw Hawkwind there a number of times between 2004-2009. Great shows in a fine venue.

[padster123]

RIP Astoria! I chipped my tooth in your moshpit!

[HawklordPXR5]

@padster123 talking of which, this video view reminds me of a molar gradually decaying away.

[regularslice]

Incredible video. Shocking stuff.

[earlemartin]

Rest in peace, The Astoria! You were truly a London landmark.
