What Do London's Pigeons Think Of The City's Soaring Property Prices?

House prices in London are becoming farcical. Never mind how this is affecting the humans that live in the city; I asked some pigeons what they make of it all.

Sandy and Dawn - Clapham

"We used to live in Greenwich. Lovely area. Now we can only afford to rent here in Clapham. Country's in a right old state."

"Yeah."

"Is this your coat hanger, love?"

"Hello."

Nathan - Oxford Circus

"The tourists here keep me going; I get by all right. But for a while I had to move back in with my mum, who lives in Streatham. She's only got one leg. Things ain't what they used to be. This is why I voted UKIP. "

Neil and Margaret - Brixton

"Oi, Margaret, come here, you slag. Well, we get by all right, but we've got Margaret's brother staying with us at the moment 'cause he couldn't afford his rent in - where is it, love?"

"Dorset."

"No it's not. Peckham, that's it. He got done by the bedroom tax, didn't he. Muppet."

Naresh - Elephant and Castle

"Elephant and Castle? More like Elephant and Squat! I live in a squat."

Vyvyan, Helen, Will, Maggie, Larry, Jasper, Helen, Roger, Emilia - Sloane Square

"None of us really get on, but we've had to house-share for six months now - that brings the rent down to £900 a month each."

"It is an absolute disgrace. Coalition austerity, isn't it."

"Yeah, no-one asked you, Larry."

"I'm allowed to talk to the media."

"See, this is what I mean. The shit I have to put up with."

Clement - Notting Hill

"See this house behind me? Used to be mine. And this car. But I lost my job, didn't I. Couldn't keep up with the mortgage. Now I'm out on a street like a fucking tramp."

Quentin - Bank

"Housing crisis? No, never heard of it. Sorry, old boy. Good to talk to you though."
