I’m reminded of the (fantastic) documentary about a building I once lived in: Aragon Tower in Surrey Quays [1].

Since it was built in the 1960s, it was one of the tallest council estate buildings in all of London, but ~twenty years ago private developers bought it out and converted it into “luxury” flats. At the base of these flats however, is the notorious Pepys council estate, of which Aragon Tower was once a part of.

The documentary aims to shine a light on the disparity between the varnished lives of glossy marketeers and new residents of those in the “upgraded” tower, with the folks forcibly removed, and those in the Pepys estate with exceedingly hard lives.

Highly recommend.

Reminds of another documentary where something similar happened in Greenwich. Or maybe it was this one...

Very possibly! This is the Thames side of Deptford, so very close to Greenwich.
