Believed to be the world's first council housing estate. Under the Thatcher years tenants were encouraged to buy their council homes, as a result this estate is now a mixture of private and council housing within the same buildings.

Grrrrrrr Thatcher!!!!!!!!!! Where's my gun grrrrrr!
I think I've cycled around here. Are they on the Thames towpath ride just before you get to Greenwich?
Your photo has made this place look very inviting.
oo, pretty! Where is that? 3 years in London and still so much left to see!! :)
Looks nice.
I like the style of the pavilion too.
And I like the composition you created.
A friend has a flat in a mixed building like that in Bloomsbury and it is wonderful.
It is hard to imagine that this area was ever a slum. It looks charming.
nice place now :)
Dave I don't think those are close to Greenwich> You might be thinking of the estates in Debtford, but those are more of a brown colour. And not very pleasing inside :S
Mo, can you tell us where these are located?
