Heygate in Popular Culture
Due to its urban decay and location, the estate has been extensively used as a filming location. Films have included Attack the Block, Shank and Harry Brown, World War Z, Luther (series 1 ep. 2) and The Bill TV series. High profile music videos, including "Hung Up" by Madonna and "Love Don't Let Me Go (Walking Away)" by David Guetta have also been filmed on the estate. In total, 76 films have been made on the estate over three years to 2010, earning Southwark Council £91,000 in fees.
