    These two exploring together is just gold 😂 only men can get so excited to find an abandoned empty dance room

      A great example of the importance of a good friend.
      These two guys go on the worst holidays, stay in abysmal & often toxic surroundings
      & are completely happy.

    That development screams 1990s! The wooden single pane windows, the yellow walls,blue carpet, wood trim. Hyacinth Bucket would have approved immensely! Great explore and such a shame to see such a big place abandoned like that.

    That was epic Alex and Pompeye. Would love for you to go back and spent longer in the building over the Thames! Brilliant video. You just find the most amazing places

    Ed is like a kiddie in a sweet shop with all the exciting things he finds. You never let us down Alex with a climb here and there. What a beautiful place that was but so shocking to see all the things left tha5 could easily be sold on. Really enjoyed that thank you xx

    So I have been watching a lot of you channel lately & this one got my attention. This hotel was still open back in November 2016 . My missies & I stayed there a couple of times . Really weird seeing this place & you guys walking around it in this state. The part of the building that looked like a building site was being rebuilt after a major fire in that part of the hotel .
    Keep doing what you do so interesting.

    Wow what a place.
    I've squatted in places as big as that back in the day but not as grand as that.
    How can it just be left too ruin.
    It's worth millions.
    But slowly decaying day by day.
    Great find and love your channel.

      Very strange to leave such a modern building in such a nice location abandoned in the UK.

    Hi guys I'm watching from New Zealand. That was a good explore. Its not beyond repair. it would cost a lot. Its a wonder no one has taken it on with such a great out door setting.. Its funny watching the people wandering about outside while you are sneaking about inside.

    • @VacantHaven

    Looks like the ground floor over the lake may have flooded at one point with the water damage up the walls. When you went upstairs the contrast was incredible.
    Hope they can renovate it as it's in a pretty prime location.

    Marvellously time lads I bet the locals are up in arms they will have tried to block this from being built and lost then they closed it well abandoned the place now they are trying to revive the place. I bet it was as lovely in its heyday as you’ve said , but once again another great find and explore, thank you so much you keep me going. Thank you.

    Do you think that the person that owns the place has forgotten about still paying someone to be there during the revamp which ended along time ago or was someone just living in that part of the complex and using the power that's still connected?

    I actually stayed in this hotel in 2012. GroupOn cheap night. It seemed at the time it was a bit desperate for business. There had been hardly anyone there, when we stayed. It wasn’t terrible, but it was very lacking. We actually stayed in circle but of the hotel that sits more on the water. Very cold and there was a smell of damp before it shut down.

    • @KittyKat1986
      @KittyKat1986 ปีที่แล้ว

      You actually went into the room, my husband I stayed in. Sad to see it in such a state.

    • @VacantHaven
      @VacantHaven  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for your comment Kitty Kat, it's a shame these places get left to decay, such a beautiful location as well.
      I guess a combination of mis management and a pandemic didn't help.
      Thanks for watching 😁👍

    • @MsMesem

      All that water and being so close to it I think it would be difficult keeping out the damp.

    The place I worked for in 2008 brought the same oven that you see at 29.30 and it cost about £10,000!😮 this might be the start of the spending spree along with the building work that lead them into debt after the recession.

    Bet that was a beautiful hotel as reception looked pretty classy. Having breakfast on those little balconies and a glass of wine at night must have been lovely, so peaceful 😍.
    What a shame its all just going to rack and ruin eh. Millions of pounds just rotting away, bloody tragic really. Cracking find Alex and Ed, love my Sunday nights with you guys x 😘
