Can anyone help identify where the bits of this video were filmed? It's 1988 and the Jungle Brothers film a pop video in Kings Cross. Tobias Newland who sent this in is sure that the jungle is Camley Street Natural Park and the gas holders come into shot several times. But which rooftops are they? Is it part of the demolished Stanley Buildings or is it further West in Camden? What are the towers that appear at 2.08? If you are reading this on email click here to see the film, others click below.
What were the Jungle Brothers a New York hip hop group doing in Kings Cross – were they looking for the gost of Bob Marley perhaps but couldn't make it to Gifford Street where Bob filmed a video?
Answers in the comments or mail me back and i shall post.

Amazing stuff!
I don’t recognise the footage, but the Jungle Brothers were on Gee Street Records in the UK, and that label was based in (you guessed it) Gee Street, EC1. So maybe that’s where the footage was shot? It at least explains why they were in the Kings Cross area, and maybe someone who knows Gee Street a bit better than I do will recognise it….
I’m pretty sure the flats in the background with the distinctive dormer windows and steep roof are the ones on Ossulston Street.

Which would suggest that the rooftop scenes were on the site of the British Library, just before construction started. Hence some unfamiliar buildings and viewpoints.
