The Powell Estate as it appeared in 2005

The Powell Estate was a council housing complex in London, whose residents in 2005 included Rose Tyler, her mother Jackie, and Rose's boyfriend Mickey Smith. Jackie first moved into Flat 48 of Bucknall House at Powell Estate in the late 1980s with her husband Pete, and it was here that their daughter Rose grew up.

Powell Estate became the site of considerable excitement from the years 2005 to 2007, thanks to the presence of the Doctor. An Auton's severed arm followed Rose to her flat and attacked her and the Doctor (DW: Rose). Jackie and Mickey were attacked and pursued by a Slitheen (DW: Aliens of London / World War Three), and at Christmas a Christmas tree came to life and rampaged through the Tyler flat. (DW: The Christmas Invasion)

The Powell estate was one of many sites in London and around the world which were invaded by Cybermen from the alternate reality known as "Pete's World" before the Doctor succeeded in expelling the invaders into the Void. (DW: Army of Ghosts / Doomsday)
