Not quite, matey.
I grew up there in the 60s/70s - there were plenty of plebs/regular Joes like me there then, as well as the jet set. A real mix. Not like now; couldn't afford a dust bin now. | | | |

My dad and his 7 siblings plus his mum and husband used to live in a hovel just over the north side Wandsworth Bridge.According to zoopla it’s now worth around £1 million.Most of the houses in the street have been turned into flats for £500k.
I remember going there to visit my NaN in the late 60’s and it didn’t look anything special,but we were only ever allowed to go in the one room so I don’t know what the rest of the house was like.
Who is buying all these properties? |  | | |
