About the Patmore Estate

The Patmore Estate is a beautiful garden estate of around 860 homes, run by the Patmore Cooperative, situated within the Vauxhall Battersea Nine Elms opportunity area, a stone’s throw from the new American embassy, Battersea Power Station and Covent Garden Market.

The estate is composed of 28 red-brick apartment buildings of 3-6 stories erected in the 1950’s, each named after railway engineers. They are arranged around well-designed and maintained courtyards containing children’s playgrounds and landscaped communal gardens.

The buildings fall into 11 building types, ranging from terraces of maisonettes to larger L shaped blocks, and are distinguished by their use of materials and balconies.

The estate crosses the boundary between the London Boroughs of Wandsworth and Lambeth, with the freeholder (owner) being Wandsworth.

“It's been a pleasure to work with the Patmore Co-op for 7 years now. As a Council, we share a commitment to the values and principles of social housing as well as the resident led democracy of the co-operative movement.”

— Aydin Dikerdem, Ward Councillor and Cabinet Member for Housing in Wandsworth
