Look behind the scenes......>>
With one week to go to the Olympics, residents of an East London housing estate have spoken out against the plans for their homes after the Games.
Carpenters Estate in Newham is home to around 250 people. The council have began a process of regeneration, and have revealed plans to demolish most of the estate.
The Anti-Gentrification Walk by CARP! aims to generate awareness and support for the struggle being waged by residents of Carpenters Estate.
