What We're Seeing: The Aylesbury Estate as Home, The Geffrye Museum

May 13th, 2016

This article is more than a year old and may contain information that is out of date. Sorry about that.

The Geffrye Museum’s current display considers life on the Aylesbury Estate, one of the largest public housing estates in Europe. Based in south London, the estate was designed by architect Hans Peter ‘Felix’ Trenton, and was built between 1963 and 1977.

The exhibition draws on an academic research project affiliated with the Centre for Studies of Home, and focuses on the personal histories of the Aylesbury Estate residents, as they prepare for the forthcoming demolition and regeneration of the site.

It runs until 18 September.
