"Acclaimed pop band and urban romantics Saint Etienne tell Sean O'Hagan how they have lovingly captured on film a vast, derelict part of east London before it disappears for ever to make way for the Olympic megapolis

As London landmarks go, the Hackney fridge mountain in east London is not quite up there with Nelson's Column or the Post Office Tower, but it was a sight to behold all the same. The largest pile of discarded refrigerators in Europe, it towered over Carpenters Road and its environs, a monument to consumerism, and a veritable Everest of trapped CFC gas. Now, it is gone, though where - ominously - no one seems to know."
