Where's Heygate?

The Heygate Estate . .

How much would you give to swap Heytor for Heygate!!??



Lovely eh?!

An amusing side story: that image of the Heygate estate was taken from the Strata Tower

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strata_SE1

As you will see the tower which was completed in 2010 has three massive wind turbines (very green) which have never operated (even greener).

Now whether these faux turbines gave an edge in planning permission with Southwark or possibly ken Livingston's offices back in the planning days is a strong possibility. Anyhow they have never worked to my knowledge .

Anyway London's great stature as a city was really down to the Victorians and they loved a folly.
