London

Heygate has been described by planners and estate agents as London’s "Lost Quarter".

It is now undergoing one of the largest regeneration schemes in Europe.

A thousand new homes will be built, and the Estate’s notorious walkways will be replaced by green boulevards.

Naturally, the Heygate residents were thrilled with these plans.

But excitement turned to bitter disappointment when the scheme fell behind schedule, and nearly 700 residents were told they would have to be rehoused in existing council stock scattered across Southwark.

There are currently only around 300 residents left on the estate, all facing eviction, who now feel abandoned.
