These flats overlook Frampton Park Road just off Well street in Hackney. Frampton Park Estate was built for the London County Council in the 1950s on land largely devastated by wartime bombing. In more recent years it acquired a fearful reputation for gang-related violence although everything here seems pleasant enough in the sunshine.
