Cressingham Gardens in South London is a council garden estate in Lambeth, located adjacent Brockwell Park. Designed by the Lambeth Borough Council architect Edward Hollamby, it comprises 306 dwellings, a mixture of four, three and two-bedroom houses, and one-bedroom apartments. In 2012 Lambeth Council proposed demolishing the estate to replace terraced houses with apartment blocks. Save Cressingham Gardens campaign group have been lobbying against this decision ever since.
