That looks like a mock up of what they take out on the road.

Luckily it didn't last long and was replaced with this (rare clip of Davina hosting)

Nope that's Old Ford Lock. You can just make out industrial buildings on the far right of the picture - the old Bow industrial estate.

Yes, definitely Lock Keepers Cottages.

Take a look at this shot and you can see a similar Costain sign in the distance.

I'm wondering who currently owns the (former) Big Breakfast House in Bow (and what state it's currently in since the 2012 Olympics) whether it's the same people how bought and renovated it after the arson attack, or it's been sold on to someone else. I know the property has been rented out several times over the years for various TV uses since the BB ended.

The house is owned by the same people as far as I'm aware. They've reinstated 1 Lock Keepers Cottage (the part of the house closest to Old Ford Lock) as its own property and rent it out. 2 & 3 is still their dwelling. The house is modern and airy (gorgeous loft conversion) with very little internally remaining of the BB.

They weren't massive fans of the show and are bemused that the house is still recognised 15 years on.

Any indication of what it's worth now?

Found this on youtube, here's some external footage of the house from last year


Here's some internal shots of the house from 2013 when the house was last on the market, it's barely recognisable from the Channel 4 show.
