After going to the Monument me and Spencer decided to go by the Docklands Light Railway from Bank to West India Quays. Its the best visable way to see the changes in the east of London. On one side of the line are newly growing penthouse apartments with views over the docks and the Thames and on the other side of the line are the post war council estates that are in a desperate need of regeneration and refurbishment. But it shows how so called regeneration pushes out the people that it is supposed to benefit, as they can no longer afford to live there and communities are usually broken down in doing so.
