Hello and welcome to the Ailsbury estate. Oh well part of the Ailsbury estate it was. Probably still is. The biggest council estate in Western Europe. This building here is just one of about maybe 20 even 30 buildings. It was built just after the war and at one point housed 11,000 people. But what makes this place really unique at the minute is that there's only 15 people living here. That's it. What was once home to 11,000 people. Let's go up to the fourth floor. It's 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. 303.02.268. The door has to door floor after floor. They're boarded up. All of these flats here are actually quite livable. Someone lives there. We are number 6 floor. 267.266. 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 colour. Pastel pink. I think that's going to aid too well. The thing is some people are refusing to leave and knocked on a few doors and are managed to find two of them. And I'll show you the home, my home. So you can have the idea. No no no you shouldn't put just. These are already big houses right? It is and also have thoughtfully look. Huge cabbets. The one of the bedroom here. This is my car from and that's that's all I need. See when you look at 30 years and there were lots of people when you first moved in and there are not so many people. Some people might go all right I'm sure I feel safe. How safe do you feel? I feel very very safe and as soon as an ice stepped in, ice grew a state footprint. Doesn't matter what time it is. They all night. I feel safe. I'm home. How long has it taken you to collect all this? All my life. I started as I said I started to play musical. I've got tango. When I moved here as far as I was concerned this would be for life. I didn't expect to think well I can't collect this, I can't collect that. I'm going to have to look after all my collection and pack it up and stuff. I didn't expect that. You're starting to feel sad when you make a random place. I tell you you don't think fuck it. I will. It's on. You know what I mean? It's a good, lively place. You know what I mean? Like it gave me people and all of that. You wouldn't know them. But it's a fearsome thing. You felt part of a community, you know? Do you want to help? Yeah I don't need to look yourself out. Well I know it's going to happen to me one day but I don't want to move. I just want to hear what things you know such as life. You're interested in more on this estate. I've got some links in the description which you can go around and have a read on the internet probably loads of stuff that I haven't told you about. Okay thanks for watching this video if you liked it, if you did it thumbs up. We'll stop here to get the bus everywhere. Cheers!
