Legal challenge to demolition of A Clockwork Orange estate
January 23, 2026
|The Guardian
A legal challenge has been launched in an effort to halt the demolition of a 1960s brutalist estate in southeast London that featured in Stanley Kubrick’s dystopian film A Clockwork Orange.

The challenge against Bexley council and Peabody housing association, which will be carrying out the redevelopment, has been launched by the Lesnes estate resident Adam Turk.
He and others living there believe the estate could be refurbished rather than demolished and rebuilt under plans for the construction of up to 1,950 homes, which the council approved on 23 December.
The dispute highlights a wider tension between environmental protection and initiatives to demolish and rebuild estates.
