Pear Tree House, Lunham Road, Norwood
Although there is a family resemblance to the Central Hill estate behind the camera, it does not appear on the estate plan. While it might seem to be just another block of flats, the truth is surprising: https://boroughphotos.org/lambeth/pear-tree-house-civil-defence-lunham-road-upper-norwood/ So the curtains at the windows, bikes on the balconies were merely camouflage?

Central Hill Estate, Lunham Road
Plane Tree Walk in weak late afternoon sunshine. The estate was put up by Lambeth Council in 1967-74 (in the days when local authorities employed architects and built public housing). Pevsner comments that it is "stylistically still very much in the International Modern tradition...with ingenious planning it was possible to give all the flats front doors at ground level, reached by paths along the contours of the hill". Many flats have excellent views towards central London.
Despite all that, in what is becoming a sadly familiar tale, Lambeth wants to demolish all 450 homes on the estate so that it can build private ones, the sale of which will fund new social housing. Residents seem to oppose the plan, presumably because they will be scattered to the four winds. A Twentieth Century Society bid to have the estate listed failed.
