Robin Hood Gardens

Poplar, London. Tue 30 Jun 2015

  

 
 DLR Blackwall

 

 The foreground is also part of the redevelopment which will replace Robin Hood Gardens

 

 The orange-brown wall at right is the north portal of the Blackwall Tunnel

 with a rather nice motif I've photographed before

 Robin Hood Gardens has two tall walls of flats protecting a large open garden area

 The gardens have been allowed to grow wild in the past few years

  Many of the flats are still occupied. They are large and desirable properties, but often have been used to house difficult residents
 
 

 

 

In the garden area there are seats and some low sculptures 

People cared for the gardens as these roses show 

but most of the flats in this block seemed empty 

 

the south end of the west block 

a tall concrete wall protected the flats from the traffic on Cotton St
