Central Hill Estate, SE19: Vicars Oak Road
Five London Boroughs meet on the hill at Upper Norwood, reflecting an earlier meeting of five parishes: the point at which the parish boundaries met, some few hundred yards east of this estate, was marked by a tree known as the Vicar's Oak, to which this street name nods.

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.

Central Hill estate ? north on Plane Tree Walk
Plane Tree Walk slopes gently down to Lunham Road. The ramp to the right takes people up to Vicar's Oak Road and on up to buses and shops. In the distance are the chimneys of the boiler house that might be called an incinerator. No longer used, it burnt waste to provide district heating.
