The West London tower block that was the setting for our beloved sitcom Only Fools and Horses is to be torn down.
Nelson Mandella house is actually Harlech Tower, we are told will be bulldozed so that 1,950 new homes can be built
Planning permission has been granted for the ongoing redevelopment of Ealing’s largest housing estate, South Acton Estate.
A total of 3,300 new homes will be built in the redevelopment, with outline planning permission granted by Ealing Council in December for 1,950 of these homes.
Part of the redevelopment will see Harlech Tower, which was used to portray the exterior of the fictional Nelson Mandela House in Peckham where Derek “Del Boy” Trotter lived in Only Fools and Horses, demolished.
Harlech Tower was used as Nelson Mandela House in various episodes from series 1 to 5 before filming went to Whitemead House ,Bristol
