Myatt's Fields South is a social housing estate located between Brixton Road and Camberwell New Road in South London. It is on land that once formed part of the Lambeth Wick estate.[1]

Myatt's Fields North and South estates were built between 1970 and 1984 with 470 homes on the North and 324 on the South.[2]

In recent years it has been the subject of a dispute between residents and Lambeth Council, who have tried to replace the boiler system that serves Myatt's Field South, and Myatt's Field North estate, which has since been redeveloped as Oval Quarter.[3][4][5]
