Elephant and Castle regeneration - Part 1

[jasonchestermusic]

AHhha my cousin helped design the whole look of strata and helped design the tip of the gherkin :D

[MrRossical]

in 20 years time, that tower block they're building will look exactly the same as those disgusting, dirty, brown tower blocks we already have!

I'm sure when they built the first ones they THOUGHT they were gonna look lovely.

[Nixupiz3]

they so against the shopping centre saying it is not in business lol just because white people dont have shops there execpt for gregs, tesco, iceland and WH smith and rememeber these are supermarkets not private owned local stores where the white people had 1st there dream to take over the elephant where they failed to latinos, blacks and pakis now complaining about daddy i cant take this dog eat dog world wants 2 bring down there failer they could not achive EC is a dump but we love it this way

[kamelion7]

Like a different world in comparison. The blacks don't seem to like it here as there ain't no Chicken cottages in the high streets or weave shops.

[rabbithog]

you can build all you like, as long as their are members of the afro ethnic community living the area will never improve, sorry

[kamelion7]

@rabbithog I make you right mate, I was born and brought up round there and I moved three years ago to Surrey. Every area, where the ethnic minorities are the majority, degenerates into a slum. The is a fact incontravertable looking at the likes of Peckham, Hackney, Camberwell, Lewisham etc, etc

[rabbithog]

@kamelion7 what is surrey like?

[chatteyj]

sorry how do developments like the strata really differentiate themselves from the disasters that were the tower blocks of the 1960's ??

[tech4156]

development will be finished 2020

[homerbear46]

@fatboy22222222222222

just make the video"Brick Shit house"...the one where you prove you haven't just demanded a fight and given out a false address.

OR is not wanting to answer THAT comment the REAL reason you aren't "replying anymore", you fucking pussy?

[homerbear46]

@fatboy22222222222222 I've got an "inferiority complex"?

YOU are a SKINNY, spotty muppet with a nasal voice, and TWO videos PROVING that

You are stupid enough to start up racist shit over the net, then when you get the piss taken out of you, start imitating harder people and talking SHIT about "breaking teeth", fucking people's wives..and LMFAO how he's now "built like a brick shit house"

the PLEB in BOTH those videos has NEVER had a real "fight"..OR Fucked a woman

[homerbear46]

@fatboy22222222222222 ... Really then "hard-man"?...make a video of you outside your house...then show your street name.

I don't want a wasted journey.

[homerbear46]

@fatboy22222222222222 WWWWWAHAHAHAHA...I AM actually a grown up MAN that hits hard, little boy... I am NOT someone you want to talk about how much you want to fight...you fucking DON'T and you fucking KNOW it.

I could be built like Tyson, for all you know, you dumb CUNT.

Me and My missus are looking at your video now and SHE says "what a geek"

DISMISSED

Has your little bitch's GLASS fucking jaw got any "bigger" then?..fucking "Martin Platt"

WAAhahaha

[homerbear46]

@fatboy22222222222222

Funny as fuck though....the internet BNP hard-man (who'

s honestly much bigger and harder now than the scrawny chicken-necked faggott in his video)

challenges someone he KNOWS lives in Hong Kong for a fight...!!

LMFAO...do you feel "hard" now sonny?...do you feel like "Danny Dyer"?

If you wan't to ever visit Hong Kong and actually back this BULLSHIT up then you just let me know.

HAHAHAHAHA

oh and your "skyscraper" is stubby little a joke, you sad cunt.

[homerbear46]

@fatboytooltooltool ACTUALLY BITCH,

seeing as your big problem is with "chinks"

why don't YOU just go down to your nearest Chinese restaurant (don't be a pussy about it and try it on two old fuckers...choose one in the city centre where there's a few hard-looking "chink" chefs

then challenge one of them to your little "fight","hard-man"

See if you've got the balls to call one of them "chink" when your NOT safely sat in your Mum and Dad's house on the computer.

Oh and please post a video of it

[homerbear46]

@fatboy22222222222222

[homerbear46]

@fatboy22222222222222

Yep little boy I'm sure you would and I'm sure you're "hard as fuck"

YAAAAAAWN...I don't visits DUMPS so sorry...

and don't talk shit about fights.

That's just youtube big-talk...YOU can fly YOUR ass to Hong Kong and THEN we'll see

YOU don't want to go there you racist little bitch.

[homerbear46]

@fatboy22222222222222

I'm NOT a "Chink" you scrawny, little "wanna-be chav" faggot.

[fabs1979]

See the BNP nut huggers are out. Do yourselves a favour and move out of London..save you from all that bitching. Also, educate yourself about the city you love to claim... learn a bit of history you mugs....immigration to London didn't start in the Windrush, no matter what you twats think.

[rabbithog]

@fabs1979 THE WINDRUSH DIDNT HELP, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TORPEDODE

[TheDepotCat]

Isleofskye...

You are right. My mate has just moved to Bournemouth to get away from an influx of immigrants to the estate where he has lived for 30 years. Now there are muggings, drug dealing, stabbings. Just five years ago there was none. Bournemouth is a very peaceful place in comparison.

[MrAMorcom]

Isleofskye. you are a fucking racist cock. May be you should fuck right off.

[rabbithog]

if speaking the truth makes a person racist so be it, whoever you are you ask for it

[homerbear46]

HAR HAR //boasting about that 44 floor tower block as if its the Burj Dubia or something!!!

my Town, Shatin outside of Hong Kong is FULL of them...there must be 30 of them in an area as big as Hyde Park..

London is guff.

[max17495]

@homerbear46 u r ann eggg london is the greatest city in the wolrd!!!!!! and im not even british

[homerbear46]

ha ha...in what way is London the best city in the world?

"ur are an egg"

lol

[stirling222]

@homerbear46 Ah yes, Hyde Park. Of course there's Regents Park and the dozens of other wonderful parks in Central London. As I recall HK is ahot concrete jungle with very little green anywhere.

I also went to see your philharmonic and was annoyed by the mobile phone calls all over the audience.

I know which town I'd choose to live in.

[Isleofskye]

Great Video!

Well Done, you have a talent, my friend!

[Isleofskye]

EVERY area Black people are "in numbers" gets turned into "Postal Area" warfare as 171 out of 174 London Gangs have predominantly Black Members..

157,000 out of 175,000 Phone assaults where 155,000 victims were White Females and yet they are less than 10% of all Londoners!

I would LOVE to transport people back to that era where Rent men carried ( the equivalent of) thousands of £'s with no worries and you were left to leave the Newspaper money in the street next to the remaining papers.

[volcanictruth]

Lived there for four years, i do agree Elephant Castle is exactly not mayfair but its also not as bad as Brixton. I guess all development is now put on hold due to recession

[mysticpiggy]

well, maybe I was wrong saying that, But still its a shit hole dive.

[PoisonRemedy321]

You were right, but for some reason people just don't like to admit it.

[mysticpiggy]

believe me elephant was nice in the 60's and 70's but when the coloureds and all sorts moved in, it turn a shit hole, they brung it down, now all the people who used to live there have moved out, thinking they were etting away, and then years later they moved down were they are!!!! how funny, shit hole britain, the good old days have gone, give it 20 more years you wont see white, it will all be coloureds, in the words of enock powell, you let on in, you let them all in.

[mave2dbl07]

ignorant prick

[Isleofskye]

I returned yesterday and I was in a MINORITY of less than 15% White/British and in the Schools in the 5 mile radius around there it is only around 7% White kids.

When I grew up in the Mid-1960's you went ONE MONTH to another and only saw White/British so if less than 1% of Londoners can create a situation where 93% of kids are Non-White/British can you IMAGINE what the next 40 years will bring?

Its the SAME picture in around 220 other London Areas, I'mafraid!

[Isleofskye]

ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON!!!!!

The Whites that moved to, say, Greenwich or Thornton Heath ( All-White Areas then) to get away from the "Brixton/Peckham" overspill then had to move in the 1980's to the edge of London and NOW another 20 years later they have moved to the heart of Kent/Surrey/Sussex or The Seaside to get away FOR THE THIRD TIME!

Llive long enough you will see this syndrome unfold!

My Cousin is an example:

1 Elephant 1965

2 Greenwich 1985

3 Bexley 1996

5 Maidstone 2004

[stirling222]

@Isleofskye Your cousin sounds like a twat, but please don't attempt to stop him or his friends moving across to Denmark or wherever's next.

They won't be missed.

[mysticpiggy]

what a fucking shit hole now, its like the united nations at the elephant now, bring back the old days, be done wtih todays scum.

[JexPAuk]

Would be nice to post another video to show us what has been happening since April?What abt Strata,it's being topped out apparently?I cannot find any rendering(july)on the net..:-(

[ComatoseCA]

at :48 that is the Michael Faraday Memorial. Also an electric power the subway.

[rawesomeadam]

does anyone know when all the redevelopment in the area is to be finished???

[skyscrapercityvideos]

Not for absolutely ages. I think about 2015-2016 for the whole area. They will demolish the shopping centre in about 2012. A couple more towers are planned beside Strata. Not sure what the timetable on those is. From what I'm hearing, quite a few of the developments are being scaled down.

[rawesomeadam]

thnx for the reply, i dont know why but im obsessed with trying to find out what will be finished before 2012 olympics lol

[JexPAuk]

E&C is one of the dogiest and dirtiest area in London,I do confirm after living there over a year,its shopping centre is apalling..(among others)/"Strata"is gorgeous,love its razor shape!

[YoureSpotOnWithThat]

Oughtn't this building be called STRATUM, strata is a bit naff.

.

Strata sounds like a council mega block.

Stratum sounds like ones own pad.

.

[aksika]

Thanx It reminds me the time I spent there

[YouAreQuiteRight]

Hi there,

How did you manage to keep the camera so non-jerky?

Upstairs on those buses is like riding a Kangaroo, what sort of camera did you use, or what sort of stabilizing device did you use if you don't mind saying?

.

Thanks -very nice video.

D

[YoureSpotOnWithThat]

no response?

shocking!

[skyscrapercityvideos]

Sorry - I don't check the comments on here very often.

I rested my elbow on the bottom edge of the bus window to keep it steady. The camera I use is a Canon Powershot A720 (8mp, 6x optical).

[YesYesYouAreRight]

Dear SkySCV., Thank you for your response and information about the camera used. . It is remarkably steady for such a vantage point. . I am always reminded of the life of a Kangaroo, when on the upstairs of such a London bus. . It is really great that the bus takes some much in as it circles and some of that giant intersection. . I visited a buddy who's apartment overlooked the square from the sixth floor -it seemed that we were in fact ON the median strip. cheers.

[bundleHastings]

So Carole did you go to Trinity? I did 1971-74

[dmc3]

what a shit hole

[carolethecatlover]

I went to school here 1971???? the shopping centre was pink!

[swearingmonk]

Strata is taking a while

thanks this was helpful
