Barkantine Estate

The decision to proceed with the development was made in March 1965, with first block being opened in 1968.^[1]

The estate originally consisted of 634 dwellings.^[2]

Funds were spent by the London Docklands Development Corporation to refurbish some of the buildings, adding facades and improving the appearance of walkways in 1984.^[3]

The 1996 Docklands bombing caused serious damage to parts of the Barkantine Estate. This led to the demolishing of Lantern House, and building 40 low-rise flats in their place.^[4]

The Quarterdeck is a pedestrianized uncovered promenade and park within the Barkantine Estate and serves as the district centre of Millwall, it includes a number of shops and services as well as a pub called the Tooke Arms. It is known in council planning as the Quarterdeck Shopping Centre.^[5]
