Hello Pierre, in a lot of London area I agree you do have to be a millionaire to be able to afford it, but this house was sold at £420,000. Plumstead is one of the few areas where housing prices, although high, are still affordable to a large section of the public.

Typical victorian houses would have had only bedrooms upstairs and toilets outside or just attached to the back. It's why many of them have the bathroom downstairs at the back of the house still. Rerooting plumbings expensive and it's often not cost effective to change a three bed to a two bed or a two double bed to a single and a double.

I live on a Victorian street of Semi's. My next-door neighbour keeps her three giant multicoloured bins in her small front garden, when - unlike the people in the houses in this video - we all have big back gardens *and* quite big side returns [3 metres wide by 20 metres long] on our houses *behind* the gate that leads down the side of each of the houses. There us absolutely no need for her to leave her bins parked at the front. No one else on the road does it. She is apparently completely blind to how her house is the odd one out. She carries kitchen and recycling waste through her whole ground floor and out of the front door to put it in her bins. She does open her garden gate to take out garden waste, though. I just find it so weird and illogical.
