Do you know what will be done with it now? I really hope it will be preserved. It must be hard to keep something in that state of picturesque disorder without it deteriorating.

It had just been bought by some guy, who held the party and didn’t have any electric lighting. It was quite spooky but fun, going up to the various floors and exploring. So glad that it has been kept pretty much as it was

I have long wondered about this house when visiting this area and noticed it too in many tv programmes…at last the mystery is solved.
Look forward to your blog every day. Keep up the good work.

& the satellite dish does ‘point a finger’.
If not preserved the flooring & ‘period’ looking stuff
will go to the next ‘fashionable’ (yawn) bar/pop-up(?)
in HISTORICAL Shoreditch.
GA you are a relic (keep relicking !!).
