Urban Exploration in Streatham
I recently stumbled across the site 28 Days Later. This is a site for the type of people who like to spend their free time exploring abandoned buildings, drains and cranes as well as infiltrating active sites. In the words of one of its members ‘Alias’, “Urban Exploration and Infiltration is about learning to appreciate your surroundings and the buildings and structures around you, and seeing beauty in places where many people will not. It is also about gaining access to these places in order to document, photograph, film or just explore these places”.
Another of its members, known as ‘Speed’, recently explored the inside of the Megabowl site on Streatham Hill. These are his pictures. Unbelievably it’s been sitting derelict since August 2006, whilst its owners Glentoran are still no closer to gaining the planning permission they want. Imagine what a savvy developer could do with this place, without having to resort to the full scale demolition that Glentoran are after?
for more pictures of the disused Megabowl you can follow the links to two other members previous visits to the site here. and here.
