#Stratford? Or any other city in the world?

Other than telling you where this is, what recognisable traits of #London can you see in this video? Where is the architectural brilliance or any sign of England?

#911Anniversary
May We Remember

Recorded on 11/09/2021 beside a piece of the wreckage in #Stratford, #London. May those of us who are alive to remember, recall the true nature of the sickening evil & unnecessary horror that took place in #NewYork, #USA. #RIP

In 17th century #Stratford, #London, this was the site of ‘The Swan’ pub & holsterie & existed as a very vital stop for omnibus terminus, & later for coaches & trams as their final stop before entering the #CityOfLondon. The area has declined since.

When I was tiny, I looked at the estates and thought I’d love to see them all torn down. I thought in my young naive age, that modernism was a good thing and that the entire place should be rebuilt to better represent #London as a whole. However, when the process began, though I was still young, it became apparent that my childhood dream would in fact become a living nightmare throughout my adulthood.

- In reference to #Stratford on the lead up to the 2012 #Olympic games, the one's which ruthlessly tore apart my home and heart.

The absolute STATE of #Stratford, East #London

Banned from Edward VII pub in #Stratford due to an overly clueless, rude landlord who didn't realise what a public house actually is. Tried aggressively telling us we need permission to take photos before being educated. Obviously, he doesn't realise what a PUBLIC house is.. Mug

Heartbeaking time-lapse 🔉⬆️

Birth of the #OlympicSite & the death of #Stratford, #London. Notice the Railway Tavern pub (bottom left). The modern concept of "progress" is but a destructive, disturbing con.

This building is one of the few reminders of my youth within the area of #Stratford. The #Olympic site was a prime excuse to rid east #London of all character, as well as its characters.

■ The allelopathy of a poisoned weed has overgrown, killed & replaced our roots.

How to utterly DESTROY #London!
The historic cobbled streets & warehouses of #ButlerWharfs in #ShadThames (#TowerBridge - St Saviour's Dock) are something I consider very dear to me. Like most of what I love & miss, others have tried to "FIX" that which was never broken.

What this stunning complex of wharves, warehouses, and mills really needs are tacky, unattractive bits of steel and glass slapped on as if designed by a lazy child. That will make the place look much better, In fact, nock it down. We need a new #Stratford.

World War - SOLVED!

WELCOME to the "World Peace Garden" in affluent #Hampstead, #London. Be you in #Hacnkey or #Palestine, fear not, the peace Garden has it covered. The opulently wealthy have it all sussed. I wonder how well such rules would last at #Stratford Station? 🌹

In my youth, the area of #Stratford/#Hackney was always a place for the less fortunate to find refuge or for the lower classes to start a business of their own. Now, even the slums that once hid us from the world are being used to replace the places that once brought us together.

I turned a corner I've turned so many times only to be met by an empty space in which I've never seen. It's hard enough to find character among the new builds of today, yet we're destroying the few unique structures we have. This can only ensure a bland, cultureless future.
