Thank you to everyone who liked and commented on my first video. Your support was really encouraging and motivating - as a result here is my next video! I've also made a few changes based on really great feedback I recieved so thank you for those!
In this video we use Google Streetview to time travel - all the way back to 2008! Not quite as adventurous as Doctor Who, but that's long enough ago to be able to spot several key differences in London's cityscape.
Like the brilliantly-named Bleeding Heart Yard, where a pretty dull 1960s office block has been totally renovated and now resembles something much older - it now complements its surroundings. In East London we explore Goodluck Hope - a brand new development on the site of an old industrial estate on a peninsula in the Thames. I think this is a really brilliantly-designed scheme and one of my favourite London neighbourhoods to explore.
Using Streetview, we also focus on how London is improving the spaces between buildings - with Strand Aldwych and Venn Street in Clapham featuring as great examples of how to create more space for people.

Old photos of Goodluck Hope were taken from information boards presented around the neighbourhood. If anybody has sources for these I will display them, thanks!
