Aylesbury Estate Walworth In London

Wendover block on the Aylesbury Estate in Walworth from Burgess Park on 3rd December 2022 in London, United Kingdom. Burgess Park is a public park situated in Camberwell the London Borough of Southwark, and is close to Walworth to the north, Bermondsey to the east and Peckham to the south. At 56 hectares, it is one of the largest parks in South London. The Aylesbury Estate contains 2,704 dwellings, spread over a number of different blocks and buildings, and was built between 1963 and 1977. There are approximately 7,500 residents. The estate is currently undergoing a major regeneration programme. Major problems with the physical buildings on the estate and the poor perception of estates in Britain as a whole have led to the Aylesbury Estate gaining the title of one of the most notorious estates in the United Kingdom. It has often been called the largest public housing estate in Europe, although this is difficult to verify with any accuracy.
