Works to refurbish the estate have however been delayed for years, with issues such as rust, damaged panels and rotting windows affecting residents.
The City of London Corporation, the freeholder, recently published a new 10-year plan to carry out the refurbishment, with £105 million earmarked for the scheme.
Several residents have, however, told the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) that they remain unconvinced, with their trust in the Corporation impacted by the lack of progress so far.
The LDRS was shown around the estate by residents, and saw first-hand a collection of the issues raised.
See below for a gallery of photos showing the widespread disrepair.
