Whilst looking for alternative spots to shoot from I came across a concrete walkway leading into this derelict estate.  Wandered around for ages, and got rather a chill I discovered on arriving home and finding it absolutely impossible to get warm.  I took absolutely tons of pictures, would be nice to go back again and spend a bit more time looking for the less obvious stuff, whatever might be going on under the surface, and of course it’ll all be gone soon, it will be good to have a record of the changing face of South London.  I know the Heygate design is crazy modernism, and probably hell to live in, but I find the concrete and the walkways very satisfying.  It’s still buzzing in a way, it’s crawling with photographers, plus a lady walking two pugs at dusk, some guys doing parkour, the chap who lives right in the middle of the place, who I presume is something to do with the ‘Heygate Regeneration Scheme’ and a couple of Latvians drinking themselves silly…  My kind of place.

The weather was perfect and the location – Whitstable – looked stunning, just the right combination of cold winter light and bleak empty beaches for the story, and a day which ended with the last scenes shot late in Camberwell – the grimy urban start to the tale.

Many thanks to Loren who withstood the cold water while I persisted to get the shots I wanted…
