Life ‘unbearable’ for residents of central London flats flooded with sewage and scalding water

Lillington Gardens in Pimlico - (Facundo Arrizabalaga)

Residents on a central London estate say life has become “unbearable” as plumbing issues cause homes to be flooded with scalding-hot water and sewage, while lifts break down and the heating system constantly breaks.

Lillington Gardens Estate in Pimlico was built between 1964 and 1972 and was immediately recognised with a slew of awards including by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). It was expanded to include the Longmoore Estate in 1980 and given a Grade II star listing by Historic England in December 2000.
