A few vintage thriller pick-ups this weekend from Heygate Books in Bognor Regis...

Astonishing article, thanks for sharing. Nails the whole web of profiteering, social engineering and distaste for 'lower classes' that has led to the UK's crises in housing and much more. The story of the Heygate is a perfect illustration of it all. The lessons, and answers, are all in this piece.

aren't there a couple in Elephant & Castle? I lived next to the power room for a few years; and recently cycled past a "combined heat and power" building where Heygate used to be

I'm going to steal "investment vehicle vibe", describes so much of the new modern urban fabric.
Like where the old Heygate Estate was, or what do they want us to call it? Elephant Park?
August 10, 2026 at 6:15 PM
the news that Heygate north side of the Elephant came as a bit of a shock. Never happened. Am I picking nits?

I would have used stronger language, but this is a useful primer
[I grew up in the Elephant before the Heygate was born or thought of]

The financials make little sense: Southwark valued the Heygate site at £150m in 2007, sold the 25 acres to Lendlease in 2010 for £50m, and spent £51.4m simply emptying it.

Nominally, Heygate residents were promised a “right of return” to the redeveloped estate. Yet not one person moved back to the new Elephant Park. Many had to leave London altogether.

Just over a decade after Elephant and Castle's Heygate estate was demolished, Brutalist buildings have become some of the most in-demand places to live in London. So what did we lose when we lost Tim Tinker's concrete behemoth?

This is one I was going to recommend.
This one is good to have around just to flip through.

One distinctive thing about the Elephant social cleansing project was that there was no hipsterfication phase. They eyed the real estate, bulldozed the Heygate and then the shopping centre. Right-to-buy flat owners were forcibly evicted by the police.

It doesn't "risk" anything. This is what the "regeneration" of Elephant and Castle was always supposed to be: the demolition of the Heygate and Avebury Estates to make way for the (mostly white) professional managerial class. This isn't even new. It's just recent.

The Heygate wasn’t redeveloped, it was obliterated.

The bomb Already went off. A 1000 working class families were ejected.

Not quite sure how 'cultural vibrancy', the Elephant & Castle shopping centre and the Heygate estate fit in the same article. It was one of the most soulless, deprived parts of London for decades, certainly in the 1990s and early 2000s.
