Urbanisation, is and always has been, a central plan to grind us down to generic drones. It's no wonder we're all crazy when we crowd ourselves into ultra-densely packed areas and then get surprised when we feel like we live in a claustrophobic any colony

Don’t like it? Watch something else

its okay if you're sharing ig

Why not thinking for the further 👊👊

I’m 11 and I love these videos

@@gurujojo8992 you're a complete fool.

@@userwashacked8826 sameeee

Totally agree! I’m Norf London born and bred and don’t know one Londoner that’s ever moved to this location and trust me I have pals that have smashed it financially. My Mrs had a friend that moved there so went to check it out- it was a full on international market of residents no Brits at all from what I saw. At night it’s soulless- empty streets no shops just roads full of high rise office blocks and apartments. Not for me!!!

@@Jk-ns8mx the area is dead and too work, work, work orientated especially when you just want to chill.

I live in the area. I have British and London-born friends who also live in the area. It definitely is business oriented, with that said, there are plenty of good estaurants and bars (before Corona). It is a 'new' area and great leisure are being brought in as we speak.

@@Jk-ns8mx As much as I admire the landscape and architecture of Canary Wharf I'd have to agree. It is very much dead at night and is mainly a place that is occupied during the day by workers.

That’s awesome. Was it a project manager role and if so how did you come across the the position, if you don’t mind me asking?

I work across As a manager doing small works in the already finished buildings that have been there for 10+years , I always look over and think , I don’t miss working on those super huge building sites , and that one in particular is the biggest project in Europe

Explains why it is so shit then.

@@Robert-yl8rq rude

Location....literally is in financial district

Waaaaaaaaay too high up for me!

Same here. Great apartment but the heights are a bit too much.

Yeh. I always think, damn if you and your mates have one too many drinks. It's dangerous.

Aww I agree ....

First time hearing them being called 'pimples' rather than bumps

😂😂😂😂😂

It's because they're all overpriced, if everything was 50% off they would be amazing houses/apartments

I think it’s great that everyone politely makes an opinion. Also, London is extremely expensive, especially central London, so no one’s ever going to be happy with the prices 😅

Honestly ! Everythings always 'overpriced' to people who dont have money. The quicker people gain financial intelligence the better

I think the reason is because the people who can afford this lifestyle shut up, and the ones who can't are spending more time complaining about it on youtube than doing something about it. But even if you "grind" or "hustle", you can't beat the 25 year old who inherited £500k from the bank of mum and dad. We're just upset that this is the only way to get ahead.

Well said sir 👌🏻 I know who I’d rather be!

I worked as a teacher there. It's bizzare walking through the super lux part and then straight into some of the poorest parts of London.

@@LexMan82 just highlights the class system that decides who has better opportunities in life.

Yes Canary Wharf is an interesting place indeed. The financial district area (Canada Square) is the glamourised part. However a 20 minute walk out of that area will you show how it is encompassed by poorer older looking council estates. That sums up the Isle of Dogs in general.

@@LexMan82 I wouldn’t say this flat is opulent for 3.5k

What’s the name of the other building? And can you like my comment when you reply so I get the notification

As the largest city in the UK, its still cheap when compared to world wide property prices. Hence the demand of foreigners buying property. It may not look it. But London is cheap.

@@momurda6 London isnt cheap average property price is above 500k

That's where I live

@@phillaysheo8 Amazing!! I have lived in the area my whole life and have seen the rise of all the Apartments/Offices going up in recent years and I myself have always favoured The Wardian

@@samblewitt9588 Yes, I work in Canary Wharf, so the Wardian it is a nice place to live. Although, I would much prefer a penthouse flat in the building.

Given its Canary Wharf, this property is marketed towards financial analysts and traders. You can’t operate a HFT Terminal from your bedroom.

I like to view apartments by river at Greenwich

Half the price? Will have to have a look. Any pointers where exactly there?

1750pcm can get you a 3 bed in greenwich?

@@MW-qj4pw Not sure about Greenwich, but maybe Charlton or Blackheath.

You're definitely not lying.

You sound a tad prejudiced, your comment on the building aesthetic is just pathetic. Prices typically reflect demand and people tend to be willing to pay for a view. Maybe you aren't the market the developer is going for? The business district is certainly vibrant in the week pre lockdown. It also has plenty enough of interesting history unlike most business districts around the world. Greenwich Town that unesco world heritage site is what? An 8 minute dlr ride or a 20 minute cycle away. That would be exceptional travel distance for living in any small European city. The river makes a great way to cycle or go by boat into the West End too. You even have the world's most popular concert venue one tube stop away.

@@suburbia2050 I will give one compliment to CW. It has its own private security service. You will never see a beggar or homeless person on the streets because they have cameras everywhere and will remove you like the gestapo. Crime is the lowest in all of London so if thats important to you then its a good place.

@@gustavvonashenbach8907 this isn't part of the canary wharf Estate actually. Wood wharf is the new housing development on the estate across the water. It's not a gated community. It's a tiny part of London, plenty of options out there for those thrill seekers ;)

@@suburbia2050 Yes I've walked past it many times.Very boring place

Just turn Emmerdale on, lad

Not the point of this channel.

@@chy.0190 it’s a broke mindset, to not want to see more than you can afford

@@officialhannahrowe nah this channel was not always catered to the most aspirational among us. Some people watch videos on this channel to see affordable houses that they see themselves living in come the future, which is imo respectfully aspirational in today's climate and not at all a broke-mindset. Plus, imagining yourself living in some elite rich person's life instead of what your life can realistically provide for you is more typically a "broke" mindset.

@@TheStoicBrowser we shall agree to disagree, I choose not to limit myself. Manifestation is more powerful than you think. But I think because Matt and Summer tour properties at lower and higher price points this attracts both audiences, which seems to cause negativity in the comments, especially when it comes to the latter. Maybe if they stuck to just luxury or just affordable properties this clash would be avoided. Not suggesting they do this though.

@hannah rose you pretty much hit the nail on the head. They attract two completely different crowds which is causing toxicity in the comment section. But tbh comments like yours which firmly sets you against the supposed "broke" mindset crowd doesn't do anything to lessen the toxicity. But on your point, fair enough you don't limit yourself - it's just difficult for some people to imagine a lifestyle only the celebrities/influencers they follow will ever live. The way I see it, I'll always try to be the most successful I can be, but I will always try to aim for and work towards a realistic lifestyle i would be happy with, which is not easy by any stretch. If I end up being super rich, then that's a happy bonus. I doubt I'll ever want to pay 42k post tax in rent though unless I am genuinely earning more than 500k a year consistently.

That's true, my favourite place in London is Canary Wharf because is a amazing and new place 🏙

@@Pablo260492 Agree! Also if someone is into finance etc.. it's a great place to build a good network and business contacts

The overprice is justified by good opportunities

Drawers.

Thanks @@sleepcrime I will try to do better in future.

@@JosephStealin I think you'd better had. I don't want to have to send a note home to your mother. But I will.

@@sleepcrime please don’t I don’t want to be grounded again. I wasn’t allowed out all of last year.

Crack dens too?

@@Mo-zx4ez That’s not nice

Apartments or houses with private gardens are seeing price increases - rentals are seeing a slow down due to lots of available stock due to mass exodus out of London since Covid hit!

I agree with this!

Need 200K after tax to comfortably afford that. You can get a better deal on a mortgage instead of renting this and throwing money away.

Most are bought by the investment banks and treated as BIK to employees or used to put clients up after flying into London City.
