What a lovely couple. So glad to hear they are doing well.

Growing up in south east london, we had lovely communities. Everyone knew everyone and was friendly. Its heartbreaking to see how communities no longer exist after greedy councils began their "regeneration" plan.

And it continues. London Borough of Southwark learned from their profiteering on the Aylesbury and Heygate Estates. The Kipling Estate will soon be gone.

I felt for this lovely old couple.Truly decent couple.As remarked elsewhere,this is nothing but social cleansing,as the amount of council rentable places in the new development is virtually non existent.I have said it before,and will say it again,"they" want "us(true working class)" DEAD.How insulting and patronising were those two idiots from the council,expecting thanks for turfing them from their home,and bringing that witch Thatcher into it,who was resposibly for setting the whole gentrification ball rolling!

Really lovely people and glad to see that they are doing well

The really good British ghost thriller film The Disappeared was filmed on the Heygate shortly before demolition .

What a lovely couple!

What a lovely couple

This is a really beautifully crafted, sensitive, emotive, essential film. Thank-you and congratulations.

Wow i enjoyed this new councin building set for finishing next year. Janet looks 10 years younger and larry 5😊

Our people were proud and resourceful, they needed to destroy us, and they did..

Difficult for an older person to move , after living in one place, so long

What a wonderful couple, i remember going around to the Elephant & Castle shopping centre just before demolition and always remember a lovely lady in a shop that had an exhibition of pics of the Centre and she was heartbroken to have to leave

So sad being forced out of their homes

Lived here for 6+ years from the late 90's to early 2000's. Marston house, I loved the Heygate. Corrupt council

I was born on the dog kennel hill estate in East Dulwich in 1978 I agree it was a community we moved out of London in 2000 as it became unbearable to live there anymore My years there were some of the best years of my life it’s sad London is the way it is now My Nan and grandad lived and number 7 felbridge house and me my brothers and my mum and dad lived in number 8 felbridge we know everyone pretty much around there but over the years we saw the change and many sadly moved away My uncle aunt and cousins lived across the road from the tankered pub in the flats just as you go in to the elephant and castle Sadly I lost my mum on October 2020 My family loved London all my family were from London my mums family southeast London my dads family west London

Former council leader Peter John did this

LABOUR COUNCIL did this

I worked on the Walworth Road between 2003-2010. When I first started Heygate was full capacity, I think they were nearly closed by the end.

I use to live on this estate from the mid 80's. My daughter was born there.... I lived on 9th floor of Ashenden. I remember hanging out of my front room and bedroom windows to clean them. It's such a shame they sell our social housing causing a shortage of housing for people. The estate was full of people like this couple, I hope they've had a good life since moving.

My uncle B lived on this area, remember visiting him and stay over. It's sad how it's turned out. The residents show respect and priority.

Brilliant film, Larry & Jane are so funny....loved it!

The middle class have, and always be the bane of the working class

man the dog got me

i went to a great kids home on Heygate wansley street side.... BIG LOVE to all that was there 1984 1985 man i miss them days them years

I watched this because I am going to start working for the planning team of Southwark Council soon, and wanted to learn more about this estate which to this today remains infamous as a case study of how not to do regeneration projects. I felt the council officers treated Janet so disrespectfully, I was shocked and it made my skin crawl. When people are beyond forced to leave their homes, how can you be so insensitive and make jokes about them like that, shameful.

makes me glad not to live in England!!! I'd be homeless!!

16:04 love the Aussie jumper! 🐨🇦🇺🌏❤🐨

Funny thing is, were these made to be like their original state again they’d have all the trendy-Wendy fashionistas wanting to live in them for top dollar. 💲🤑

What a lovely couple thank you for sharing some of your memories here, I'm 28 and grew up in Aylesbury but I love learning about the history of Aylesbury and heygate, I really wish I could have seen the place on the 70s

What they are not saying is Immigrants were the problem always avoiding the truth. Wake up you idiots and see it for what it is ffs.

Elephant and Castle, Old Kent Road, Walworth and East Street had the best communities. 👌 great people 👏 👍

Architects create , drawings, models, and ideas.... tradespeople and engineers create buildings

The common people where conned again

Make it so undesirable to live there so people move and then simultaneously say the estate in disrepair and decline and before you know it private developers snap it up for big bucks

Spent the first six months of my life living on the Heygate in a block called Wingrave. We got a house further down the Walworth road after my dad bunged the housing man a few quid. My Grandparents lived on the Heygate, on the ninth floor of a block called Claydon which overlooked the Elephant shopping centre. I've got many fond memories of the estate, from the huge bonfires in the football pitch to birthday parties in the estate hall. The people who owned their flats were treated terribly, being given roughly £200k when the new places started at £500k. The new development brings with it some nice bars and restuarants but any sense of community is gone, just like what is happening across London. Redevelopment should mean redeveloping for the people who already live there, not rich people and foreign investors who are able to afford the new places. Unfortunately in London now redevelopment means social cleansing

She bought it But doesn’t know what it is THICK as $HIT

WOW. It is amazing that building those high rises even in the USA, it it is a matter of time before they are in shambles. The ones that had to pay or given reduced rent at least took better care of the places. Even in Memphis, TN where I am from, those low rent apartments were called the projects. No one wanted to say where you were from. Elvis lived in one of those, the same as my mother's siblings and parents. Yes, Elvis went to school with my aunts, and uncles. That's another story. Every time something is given to them, they tear it up, trash it up and there goes the neighborhoods. They think it is supposed to be given to them for free. Thank God Memphis only has a few high rises for the elderly and they won't keep the maintenance up for them. It is a disgrace. I am so glad I moved out of the city. That's another whole set of problems. I can't afford the bush hog man! LOL. I am now 70 sighh, live on my own and my sons hate I am out here. Better here than there! The crime is less for me in my little spot in MS.

My experience with moving people into new estates from run down area's. The council break up once tight communities with these moves. They never take into account the time these communities have been together, Generations. They break these communities up and this is the start of the rot in these new communities starting up. The community don't have the connections they once had. Same here in Dublin ☘️🇮🇪

It's happening everywhere. All over the country.

Janet talks with such precision.A nice Lady.

This wonderful couple, still in love and laughing without pretence against all adversity deserve to be recognised as all that used to be the best of British. Already flowers and roses planted for their Lady Labrador. I dont think you could find more lovely warm people. I hope they have decent family and friends around to cherish them. Another disgusting case of very poor council management and ignorant council workers who should be fired from top to bottom.
