Cressingham Gardens was built between 1969 and 1979 to the designs of Ted Hollamby
A 20-home scheme which will require part of Tulse Hill’s historic Cressingham Gardens estate to be demolished has been recommended for approval by Lambeth council.
The four-storey Conran and Partners-designed block on Roper’s Walk for the council’s in-house housing firm Homes for Lambeth will replace two lower-rise blocks consisting of 14 homes, the first part of the estate to be redeveloped.
