1:36 I did some temping work in CW last year for UCL (they have a business campus there because of course they do) and there is actually usually homeless people by the entrance of the Station. Nothing screams late-capitalist fever dream like having destitute people sit and watch banker bros strut past them wearing a flat deposit in clothing and jewellery to spend £20 on some "street food" for lunch.
Is there a canary at canary Wharf or is it an empty symboliser of the post modern simulacrum where the real canaries in the coal mine are those who keep appearing in the background of franky's videos?
It refers to the canary islands which ships sailed to from the isle of dogs (not many dogs) when the rich people there had lots of smaller ships instead of less big ones and were even worse
This place reminds me of the town the Simpsons moved to when Homer was working for Hank Scorpio. Frankie, I wish you had shown us the hammock district.
Not gentrification. Canary Wharf didnt exist before this, it was a brownfield site with contaminated ground from docks and industry where nobody lived.
It really is uncanny valley made flesh. There's literally nothing to do there except consume and leave while being surrounded by security. Whenever you pull out a camera, security bros are on you like white on rice too.
Canary Wharf sounds like some fancy dogfood brand.
Canary woof
it’s near the Isle of Dogs, so…
Bird babysitter for the rich n stupid
Clearly you don’t have enough money to live there

An Irish lad saying "Maybe Thatcher was right all along" is not something I thought I'd hear.

Needs optimization, drops below 30fps when it rain.
It is the natural home of the Sunak
That last guy is my crypto advisor. He talks too much at times.
"crypto advisor" xd
I found his advice pretty useful, particularly the part where he said "TUT TUT TUT TUT"
pretty sure its a fictional place from doctor who...
I can see why people would think that, the amount of shenanigans that have taken place there.
The cardboard cutout got me 🤣🤣🤣

Last time I was here, a bunch of salt shakers were screaming "Exterminate"
Lol Margrit Tatcher woz roit
Love this guy.
I personally love canary wharf tbh, its like going on holiday to a different country whilst still being in London
I've never heard of this place before but it feels like a psyop.
It is a dark place Simba, never go there
I've heard of Canary Wharf. I spent 30 hours there once
I've also heard of Aberystwyth.
I spent 90 hours there once.

Of course its cursed, it was built by the Torchwood Estate 😂

@02:05 As much as I hate to admit it, I agree with the guy.
STRATOSPHERIC JOURNALISM
I first heard of Canary Wharf because of the battle and only now I'm findimg out what type of place it really is, lol
I thought Canary wharf was a dockyard before I saw this video
It used to be
Canary wharf is private land with public rights of way.
Spot on
Canary wharf is where all your tax money goes into yet you will never be able to live in it.
Mate do one about scaffolders lol
How did I miss you I’m legit working there lol
Indeed the most cursed place I've heard of in a while
Just been there today and it’s exactly like that
having actually stayed in canary wharf this was fucking hilarious. confusing maze and google maps lmao
Wait... They just named the canary wharf elizabeth line station "crossrail place?" Frankie's really got a point this time, big ai-generated energy
No. Crossrail Place is the name of the shopping centre building that houses the station
@@Nooticus in that case nevermind. that sounds _much_ more authentic 🙄
0:45 - realll 😂 so confused first time I went there by train, stepped into a maze of a shopping centre
And when you get off the train, you are able to get out through both sides of the train. That's not normal.
Haha! Brilliant. 👌
First guys quarter zip is so crumpled, how unprofessional
Accurate
Please make a Southgate jumpscare warning next time didnt want to remember he existed today

In the coal mine
Brilliant
Have you ever been to Caelid? Proper fucked up that place is, makes East Hastings look like heaven
this is exactly it
Well done
for once, fleeing is completely justified
It's cursed alright, cursed with a workforce of merchant bankers (that's rhyming slang) and King Cnuts.
Another BANGER!!!
You kids make me laugh out loud every time!
canary whiff 😂😂😂😂
You don't want to be going around exposing torchwood like this
Truth.
why are there no canaries in this sim? Is that a DLC
Yes! Only with RTX 4090.. But Frankie poor console peasant
Cash is king 👑 crypto meghhh
....Oh my. hahahah
Canary wharf was always like that. It was built as a decoy target for the IRA
Canary Wiff 😂
💛
This guy looks like Pete Davidson!!! 😂😂😂
It is not that bad
The Bronze Lion, it all makes sense now.
Omggg I take this route to my uni everyday 🥲 I wish I bumped into him
