I went to a party on the roof of a block that looked a bit like that a while back, except it didn't have all the fake grass there. I felt quite out of place.

Possible that's the one. Was it just by Telegraph Passage (Alley)?
 
I'm guessing it's the roof of the new(ish) block, set back, next to The Telegraph. Main (gated) entrance is on New Park Road.

You get a nice view of the Windmill though... for a couple of grand a week. :facepalm:
 
The block I'm thinking of was once (I think) a council building on New Park Rd and has incredible views, almost exactly like the one in the photo.

I know the guys that own it. One of them lives in a truck nearby, they've been renting it out during the Olympics to rich Arabs etc to make some money, the place was a right state before. They're hardly rich lads, just trying their luck and trying to make some money.

Been up there before and after the refit, it's an amazing penthouse now.
 
3 bed flat on New Park Road up for rent:

£8450 a month.


:eek::hmm::eek:OH MY:eek::hmm::eek:
I think I might have been to a party in that flat a few years ago. The view looks familiar but there was definitely no lawn or hot-tub (someone did make a fire on the roof though). I thought it was pretty cool even then, spacious flat big roof-terrace and that view. There was a fantastic sunset but it was a bit scuzzy inside.
I suppose some banker will be trying to live the drug-dealer/pimp lifestyle he imagines in his wet dreams. It's not how I would have done it up.

Looks like they'll be pretty rich now though.

Nah, they haven't recouped the refit costs yet. They'll be lucky to rent it, most of Courtney House residents have been trying to stop them. Probably the same residents that got the Telegraph shut down.

They're trying to stop them renting?

I'm sure they could sell it off for untold millions if the renting gets too hard.

Nope. Do you know how much or when they bought it or what their financial situation is? I know a bit and they're digging themselves out of a hole.
 
Geezus.... :facepalm:

Seeing as you know fuck all about them, I'm just going to leave this thread and let you carry on....
