Hawke Road
Its north side filled with the Central Hill Estate, a Lambeth Council estate of 1967-74. Lambeth's present incarnation wants to knock it all down so that it can build private houses, the sale of which will fund new social housing. There has been spirited local opposition.

Central Hill estate ? ramps between levels
Living on a hillside, however exhilarating, inevitably means a climb to the shops or the bus. Architects have to think of everything.

Steps seen from Hawke Road, Norwood
In spectacular contrast to the level paths and gentle ramps through the estate there are one or two of these daunting flights of steps. Very likely they are less for residents and more for internal estate access by management and maintenance staff, police, emergency services and utility providers. The block at the top is Lambeth Prospect, 10 on the estate plan

Hawke Road, Norwood
Hawke Road offers quite a contrast in the forms housing can take. On the right Lambeth Council's Central Hill estate confidently comes to rest at the foot of its hillside site. On the right a block of probably-post-millennium flats shows all its features. Up the road are big handsome Victorian terraces and villas.

The planting on the balconies seems to speak volumes for residents' affection for the place.
