Lansbury Estate, Public housing complex in Poplar, United Kingdom
The Lansbury Estate stretches across a large area between East India Dock Road, the Docklands Light Railway, and the Limehouse Cut canal in London.
Construction of the estate began in 1949 on land damaged during World War II, forming part of the Live Architecture Exhibition at the 1951 Festival of Britain.
The estate received its name from George Lansbury, a local political figure who served as Labour MP for Bromley and Bow and led the opposition from 1931 to 1935.
Residents access public transportation through Langdon Park and All Saints DLR stations, while Bromley-by-Bow and Bow Road provide connections to the London Underground network.
Chrisp Street Market, established within the estate, made history as the first purpose-built pedestrian shopping center in the United Kingdom.
