  • Sceaux Gardens is a major and much-celebrated council estate in the Camberwell area of the London Borough of Southwark, London. The estate was constructed on land at the junction of Peckham Road and Southampton Way in the grounds of Camberwell House, a group of historic buildings then being used as council offices. The estate was named after the town of Sceaux, near Paris, with which Camberwell had links. The estate is now partly protected by the Sceaux Gardens Conservation Area, which centres on the 18th and 19th century buildings near Peckham Road. Plans for the estate were approved by Camberwell Metropolitan Borough Council in 1957 as a showcase development by the Metropolitan Borough Council's architect's department under the direction of F. O. Hayes. The architect in charge was H. P. Trenton and the consultant structural engineer was W. V. Zinn. The plans for the estate included the construction of two 15 storey tower blocks surrounded by four 6 storey blocks of maisonettes and a single 6 storey block of one bedroom flats. Two rows of single storey homes for the elderly were also constructed at a later date. All buildings were built by Laing. Initial plans for the estate proposed taller building, although the Ministry of Housing and Local Government intervened and demanded a reduction in height.
