Very confused. Thought it was a weird poster in someone’s gaff but loads of individual flats have them

Looks like mixed council/private flats, is it a protest over something?

Highly likely no one will know but thought Reddit is just a good as any if I’m to find out

  3. I don’t know, but I dislike having to cover up and be under blankets so much because I can’t afford my heating on as many hours, so that’s what that tells me. 

  5. These are flats!!! In London!!! Bro I thought I was looking at a model dolls house for a sec

  8. Residents of the Brunswick estate have not had heating or hot water for weeks (maybe a month by now). Its still on a shared boiler system and I have no fucking idea how that works, but I’m guessing that the council claim that to retrofit it with individual systems is too expensive. Despite the shopping centre bit being gentrified and boujis as fuck in the last 10 years or so, the mainly council accommodation has not had the same level of upgrade and residents are very rightly pissed off. I am sure having access to a Gail’s a Waitrose and a Ben’s Cookies makes up for having to go to a local leisure centre to have a shower.

  9. So you can see where the snow fans live.
    I’m a snow fan, ain’t got a poster though 🥶

  15. Has the power tripped? Just reset the main breaker to the heating unit. Has to be done manually, Not the building power supply. The power to the heating control unit.

  17. This is a great photo, somehow they look like 1:12 models instead of real flats

  18. Not Holborn, but Bloomsbury*

  19. I always thought it would be nice to live there, didn’t realise it was mismanaged and to buy a flat would cost one million! Madness!

  20. Is this Russell Square? Looks familiar, by the shopping centre

  22. i know this might sound silly, but is it forbidden to install shower heaters?

  24. > “I’m paying nearly £20 a week for hot water and heating. I would quite like it to work.”

    lmao

  25. The homes are freezing and the Captain need to upgrade the generator or build better homes.

  26. Hey the Brunswick Centre! One of my favourite buildings. From the outside at least

  27. They’ll probably just blame this on the migrants coming on rubber dinghies too 🤦🏽‍♂️
