Huge thanks!
"I don't want a commission, am just being nosy" Love that!! 🤣👌
Trellick Tower is next to one of the main railway lines into London, the line to Paddington. There is another almost identical but slightly smaller tower block in the east end at Poplar, the Balfron Tower,
Had an auntie that used live there in the late 70's/early 80's. She never wanted us to use the lifts and would only let us visit during the day, little did I know about the rapes and drug muggings years later when grown up and she had moved out, she also mentioned suicides that she heard of from neighbours. Different place now, but I bet the lifts and stairwells could tell some stories from over the decades
No need to be over dramatic - its not stabbings and rapes - its just some fools getting wet up and a wee bit of romance in the stairwells :D
Yeah sounds horrible
Nothing a Singapore Constable with a truncheon and a silenced pistol couldn't take care of in a week or two... ;')
@@MajorCaliber
Who the hell asked u about anything to do with Singapore? Shut up
The best part of living in Trellick Tower is that you don't have to see Trellick Tower from the outside.
Haha, so right👍
Ha ha ha
Literally
I don't get what you mean
@@dredenny6654 it's a shithole
Narrator needs to lesson the harshness of the tone, it sounds like she's reporting on a car bomb or something.
Super dramatic narration..
I like the plant rooms ect. Old boiler room that at top
That whole wild service tower resembles a *rocket gantry* which is so totally apropos as it was built during the heyday of the Apollo moon missions!
0:55, you can actually see grenfell tower from that view.
Yeah and-
Oh ye
I wonder how safe trellick is...
@@MostlyLoveOfMusic Very safe; it was designed to be able to contain fires. A fire broke out a few years ago and it was contained in one flat, so was able to be controlled. The issue with Grenfell Tower wasn't that it was a tower, it was the cladding. If they'd just left the original concrete facade we wouldn't have had that tragedy.
I live in Trellick tower
Ever since i was born i could look out my window & see this big tower right infront of me
never mind ....
@@booth2710 something you want nigga?
I wanted to see the layout of the inside.
Me too, a half arsed story really
Probably spacious
Erno Goldfinger designed this building. A great man
1.37min, JP is my uncle. used to live on the 30th floor, Diana Abbott son's father lived a few doors down
Aswad wrote ghetto in the sky
The Clash wrote up in heaven, about trellick. Extremely rough place in the late 70s
My friends used to live in the roads around around the tower, they nicknamed it the dog
I was given this as my first choice housing as a single parent with a 2 and a 3 year old. We were leaving a refuge after 8 months of support to be isolated on the 22nd floor of the tower. I turned it down on the realistic basis that we would be trapped should my abusive partner find us (we had been tracked to the area the refuge was in already)
Thankfully, we were offered alternative accommodation that I was grateful to accept, but I do wonder if they sent people there first so the second offer would seem to be a paradise in comparison.
i hope all is well now and you have found peace for you and your children.
Lots of places like this in London are hard to come by now and the council have sold them to people and an extremely high percentage are owned privately and are rented out to people at a ridiculously high price where as council would be £450-500 a month privately would be £1200-1500
great architecture!
Disgusting architecture
It's cool as fuck you dumbasses
@@Jason-eo1rh its ugly.
Ugly but significant, should be preserved for sure.
Haad a friend who live there. I lived opposite hazlewood tower.
Sandwich people
My girlfriends mother lived on the 24th floor; one day she answered the doorbell and Robbie Coltrane was standing there;
"You're that Robbie Coltrane off the telly aren't you?" she said.
"That's not the line!" He replied,
Then he looked to his right, and there was a TV crew standing there,
"IT'S THE WRONG FUCKING FLAT!" he shouted.
They were shooting an episode of a sitcom called "Snakes And Ladders".
Dont have a garden comment cracked me up
My tower block was knighthead point in the eye of dogs
In The Netherlands back in the days nobody wanted to live in the enormous honeycomb high rises in the Bijlmermeer, since it was a very rough and criminal estate. But they started years ago to refurbish the place, demolish some of them and building new houses on the spot, more space and green in public and in 2021 it's booming fashionable to live! I wouldn't mind living there now
Im american but when I lived in NL 20 yrs ago that area was rough. I think the train drivers refused to stop there sometimes.
Check Bijlmermeer, Amsterdam.....multi-cultural estates
I live here
Is it demolished
Smash B nah
Your so lucky , I love this architecture and the flats and maisonettes look spacious and retro modern . Wish I could have one 😢
Shopaholic undisputed heavy weight champion nah I was driving past and from the side the rooms look 1mm
Shopaholic undisputed heavy weight champion u weirdo y df would u want to have a council flat this is what we wanna move out of u dumb hippie
Balfron Tower’s sibling.
It’s twin is balfron tower in tower hamlets. It’s been emptied of social housing tenants and sold off by the local council to private developers. It has been completely refurbished and flats in the block are being sold for hundreds of thousands pounds each, as is most of the social housing in one of the so called poorest boroughs in London with thousands of local people on the social housing list.
Why dont those social housing list people get of their back sides and finally do some real work for which they can get an income and stop being a parasite to society?
@@disrealnow9664I’m a social housing tenant and have worked all my life. So has my husband. Our rent is dearer than an average mortgage. Not all social housing tenants are on benefits, although over the years there are a lot more than before. Most of them migrants claiming every benefit available from disability to child benefit.
@@disrealnow9664 if you qctually understood reality, you would understand that a lot of these people who live in housing like this are people who are immigrants who have not had proper/any education and on top of that, unemployment is a thing
@@disrealnow9664, most people in social housing do work. And most council housing is operated at a profit for the taxpayer having paid for itself several times over in rent.
If the pandemic has shown anything, it's shown who the real backbone of society is: supermarket staff, social care workers, delivery drivers, and hospital staff - all of whom are underpaid.
If social housing were abolished you'd soon be complaining when the street cleaners, dustmen, and takeaway staff can no longer afford to live in the city.
@@disrealnow9664 Your comment oozes ignorance, and a total lack of empathy or basic comprehension of the way society works.
Reminds me of balfron tower
As an American, that place looks like a slice of hell.
As a person who been in it before, i agree with u
You should see the projects in nyc then
@@greyfriars6540 I get it, been there, but the building just feels dreary. That era wasn't great.
@@greyfriars6540 True
Glad you don't live in England then mate
Ladies first
Vertical dump
Steven French
Yeah yeah right yeyeyeye
Gentrification there rent is gonna tripple
ur right. theres a 2 bed flat for sale in the tower for £625,000
on the plus side crime will go down
@@booth2710 no the crime will just move down the road
Why an ugly building this is as you go out the Blackwall tunnel. It's says it's really bad here, like clockwork orange. However I agree it should be listed, only as to set a lavish punishment for such ugly buildings ;-)
Talking to Londoners it seems that in the 70s and 80s too many people were either drinking too much, or on drugs and often getting into fights. I wonder what the problem was. It seems that throughout the 90s until 2008 is got better. Not sure now. Sheer poverty in London is a real problem. It seems that there are many women who had children from different men and live in poverty in council houses. I read that statistically speaking those kids, growing up in poverty and without a caring dad, are much more likely to get into gangs. I don't know, but we need to fight poverty be it financial or cultural. For sure the skyline in London is very ugly compared to both American cities and most European cities. It's a sort of nonsensical mix of ugly towers, Victorian blocks, squalid highstreests, wealthy Victorian or Georgian blocks, posh new developments and terrible single houses without blinds and with ugly white curtains. Probably ugly blocks should have been built in specific areas in the 60s and 70s not everywhere in the city. If the idea was to be inclusive it has not worked: gangs are on the rise, many communities are segregated anyway and integration does not appear to be working better than in other European cities and the skyline has been ruined for ever. It is not by building ratholes for the poor that you integrate them, it is by fighting poverty. Do you think that a kid who lives in a council house in Fulham is going to talk to the rich kid who lives ten metres away in a rich household? Nop. The rich kid will go to a private school and not go to the same pub, restaurant etc... We must eradicate extreme poverty, not pretend that it does not exist. Plus, we must stop men from making random women pregnant, not sure how that may work. I don't see the same number of single mums in poor developments in other European countries.
What are Conservative MP's or the Prime minister doing to help the residents of Druids Heath in Birmingham living in such appalling conditions in modern Britain. The families most of which have children are subjected to the appalling conditions to ever be experienced in the U.K. today. As no disrespect to other continents that suffer the brunt end of displacement and often unforseen military events, this is the U.K. not a country that refugees are trying to leave. What is being done about this.🤔😠
Oh I am sure they will get round to helping the residents of Birmingham once they've finished housing the 100s of Afghan families about to come in to the country
@@booth2710
I can't stand them, but to be fair if nobody wasn't bombing their countries then I guess they'll be over there living
A prime example of tasteless post-modern brutalist architecture. Looks like something out of the Soviet Union.
I see this every day driving to work. Just wondering if there is anyone who considers this building nice or interesting. For me is one of the ugliest in London
I find it cool tbh
shit heap
I like the height of it..
It could look more attractive but whatever it's home..well kinda. I'm from Acton not too far away from there
One of the ugliest buildings in the Soviet Union
Commonplace, distinct, and hideous.
What a horrible place
One of the ugliest buildings in London. Thank goodness modernism isn't as much of a think anymore.
Looks dreadful.
It's sexy
@@Jason-eo1rh 😂
That just looks awful 😕
West London ain't posh is it
Told yall people
And I'm originally from west moved to south
Figure that out
