This is what it's like to live in a slum where nobody listens or answers your questions or can hear you scream. £400,000 was said to have been spent on the upkeep of the fabric but when I went looking for it nothing could be found. Who cares?... nobody. Still, I moved out but I've not forgotten. Here is my film of a slum and missing public money.

  • most the walkways are still open see elephantandcastleurbanforest(d­ot)com

    can't believe they're knocking it down...

  • @wjfox2006 ahh what a let down, wanted to film for a project there, so it probably isnt even gonna make for any good footage if i go there will it

  • @rosakop1 Yep, all closed off.

  • @wjfox2006 ahh shit.. even walkways and bridges?

  • @rosakop1 You can walk around the ground level, I think, but everything above that is locked.

  • @wjfox2006 hi i plan to visit the estate, can i walk around in there and on the walkways to balconys or isit completely lock off?

  • @sidneyleung1 The whole place appears to be empty now.

    For a while, it remained publicly accessible, and you could visit the upper floors which had some amazing views of the skyline. However, it's now been locked, so you can't even do that anymore.

    I guess they will demolish the estate at some point. Not sure when though. Financial problems have delayed the redevelopment.

  • does anyone know if Heygate still have residents living in it? i'm a photography student and liked to do a project on this place which i'd like to ask a few questions on any resident who once lived or still living in Heygate or part of this 'slum' resident. Thanks :)

  • @Izakokomarixyz loool nice trolling.

  • thank fuck it got knocked down
