SQUATTERS
By Mike Michaels
Mike has lived in Wood Green for almost 20 years - a place that feels very urban apart from a few trees on the road.

From upstairs, he shows us a cottage that has been bought by some property developers, but at the moment it's being squatted. He takes us down to the squat, where the squatters have been trying to make the land more ecologically advanced, including trying new ways of heating water with a bucket and some tyres...
