Report - Billionaires Row - London - Feb 2019

[cjexplores]

So I first did Billionaires row with @Benjames a couple of weeks back but never got round to posting my report so will do it at a later date. Went back this weekend to explore some other buildings we originally missed and came across this one.

The place has massive signs outside saying "SOLD" but it looks the most interesting out of most so I couldn't resist but go over and have a look. I presumed it would be a shell but it was far from it... so much history left behind! It's so sad that decay has taken over but it gives that extra beauty for us explorers.

I'm not entirely sure how long it has been sat abandoned like that. But everything gave to a good explore. Curious to see the plans for what they are going to rebuild here..

Not much more to add on my behalf, I'm mainly here for the pictures! Queue the 'laziness of not editing any of them' pictures

Well it's always been known as Millionaires Row both on here and in the press and among wider society, why feel the need to change it?

It was millionaires row a few years back but is now known as billionaires row. Madness I tell you

 

[Benjames]

Awesome report. Saves me doing one. What a fixer upper of a house :)

Great pictures but what a stupid stupid waste of a house. I would say what a good job there's no homeless needing a place to stay but last time I put a comment like that on this forum someone told me off and said they weren't connected. Hmmm. Doesn't make it right though to leave it empty.

Nice one, such a shame these places are left to rot. Strange taped off area, any reason why? Looks like it was once a lovely house. I see the snow landed there. Window and door grates, must of had some valuables in there in its day.

Didn't actually notice the tape! I'm not entirely sure, what be interested to know now though aha. Yeah, lovely big place and massive shame

Probably called billionaires row now due to inflation ......

Nice photos, probably called billionaires row Becuase a 3 bedroom semi detached house is almost worth a million these days in 2019
