The estate was designed in 1967 as part of a major redevelopment scheme in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. It incorporated Moreland and Talbot Grove House dating from the 1930s and the last part to be completed was Camborne Mews, completed in 1988.

On June 14th 2017, Grenfell Tower burnt to the ground with the tragic loss of 72 lives.

John Boorman's 1970 film 'Leo the Last' was shot in the area, as the old houses, on the site of what are now the Walkways, were being torn down. Kidulthood (2006) and Adulthood (2008), written and directed by British filmmaker Noel Clarke, were partially filmed on the estate. There are also glimpses of the area in Otley (1968) and The Lavender Hill Mob (1954).
