According to the banner the Art Works Elephant, a stack of converted shipping containers, provides opportunities for work/space, work/shop, work/stay – also café/bar/garden/events. They were unoccupied, according to the friendly security officeer. The view, right, is down Wansey Street. The Heygate Estate, completed 1974, is being demolished and redeveloped. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heygate_Estate http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2013/11/look-heygate-estate-whats-wrong-londons-housing
