This is a list of notable council estates. Public housing in the United Kingdom has typically consisted of council houses, often built in the form of large estates by local government councils.
Becontree in The London Borough of Barking & Dagenham is generally considered to be the largest council estate (in terms of population).
Some council estates, such as Heygate Estate (setting of the film Harry Brown) in London, or Hulme Crescents in Manchester, have since been demolished.
