The video for Millionaires by The Script seems to have been filmed in social housing in Thamesmead Estate south London - the Southmere tower blocks appear at the start of the video (these are the high rise flats that appear in the dystopian film A Clockwork Orange): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV1-M4uRiiw
The video was directed by Paul Banks and has a theme of transmutation. Thus a Haribo ring becomes a real ring, a dandelion becomes a rose, cups of tea become glasses of wine. In the Birchwood Tavern the pub band becomes The Script (although arguably The Script has yet to make the transition from a pub band - their oeuvre is over-sentimental pomp rock in the style of U2).
But the video is worth watching.
