North Peckham Estate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The North Peckham Estate is a residential area of Peckham in London, England.
It is notable for being the scene of the Damilola Taylor murder in November 2000. Nigeria-born Damilola, less than two weeks short of his 11th birthday, died after being stabbed to death in the footwell of the tower block where he lived with his family. The block where Damilola lived has since been demolished as part of a redevelopment of the troubled 1960s housing which mostly consisted of high-rise flats.
