That's it What was once home to 11,000 people? Wait a minute now living on an estate that can house 11,000 people possibly and there's only 15 people there I don't know if I've lived there. That's a little creepy to me That would like I would tweak out like I'd be Like I don't know how mentally strong I would be any little sound would like I'd be My mind would be racing Is now a ghost town So this is the fourth floor and this is what I mean. Let's have a look down here. Shall we? there there 300 302 268 Door after door like steel law. It's not boarded up. It's like steel All of these flats here are actually quite livable Someone lives there. We are now the sixth floor 267 266 wonder why And all this in the middle of London you could be at Buckingham Palace having lunch with the king if you want in about 20 minutes Or you could be at the London Eye in about 10. So why is it empty? Well, the plan is to Replace this entire block in fact this entire estate With brand new homes just like these ones. They're building across the road and look at that beautiful color pastel pink That makes sense. That's gonna age too well the thing is some people are refusing to leave And knocked on a few doors So just like just like a episode on a tap boy and I managed to find two of them And I'll show you the home my home so you can have the idea. Yeah. Yeah No, no, no, you shouldn't put just It is and and also have thoughtfully look huge cupboards The one off to bed from here This is my bathroom and That's that's all I need I'm not gonna lie. That's pretty decent It's a lot of space, you know houses and homes and things of that nature built like after the war they normally are big because The government wasn't as greedy Should I say so they weren't trying to or whoever these housing people weren't as greedy they weren't trying to Use up as much space as possible. But yes, there were lots of people You first moved in and now there are not so many people. Some people How safe do you feel I Feel very very safe and as soon as an ice tap in Iceberg estate footprint doesn't matter what time it is Day or night. I feel safe. I'm home People got this to set up nice all my life I started as I said started to pay me school And we've got Tigers when I moved here as far as I was concerned just to be for that He must be a professional ex-alcoholic or something. He got all the equipment. He got about 45,000 flasks He got the little globe thing with the alcohol. He got the He got the war alcohol cup I didn't expect to think well, I can't collect this and can't collect that. Oh, he's a collector my bad You know look after all my collection Pack it up and stuff. I didn't expect that Hi, I tell you I think They could gravely place, you know, they give me people in laws now. I'm like you wouldn't know them But so wait, how long did he say how long this property is like been in limbo because these tenants won't move out I don't blame them for that one to move out 100% like they're not gonna find anything like this in London for probably what they're paying Or they might own them You can own flats, too, right? Fierce you You felt part of a community, you know, yeah, I don't need to look yourself out Well, I know it's gonna happen to me one day, but I don't want to move And it's just one of those things, you know, such as life You're interested in I understand though, like look at this look at his crib He's literally made this home. Like he's got all these pictures all these Collecting the items like I wouldn't want to move either. No, bro.
