exactly... my Uncle turned down a 3 bed in Barbican for 4.5K because it was just another council estate and they already lived in one.
I think my parents first house was 9K and I saw one on the same street recently for 650K.
The price jump that generation have experienced is not far off a once only event IMO.
Barbican's always been private, it's next door Golden Lane estate that's council. There's some great contemporary news/doc clips of residents with a little neighbourly envy (Golden Lane had swimming pool, launderette etc).
