[[PROSE]]: ''[[Rose Tyler (short story)|Rose Tyler]]'' was the first story to give a specific location for the Powell Estate. Kennington, which is situated along the border of {{w|London Borough of Lambeth}} and the London Borough of Southwark, was actually the real world location where the scenes for the Powell Estate were filmed;<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080108080227/https://www.doctorwholocations.net/locations/brandonestate Brandon Estate on Doctor Who Locations via the Wayback Machine]</ref> so choosing a location that both aligns with the real world and the [[DWU]] logically makes sense. However, it was later established in [[COMIC]]: ''[[Silver Scream (comic story)|Silver Scream]]'' that the Powell Estate was located in Peckham, which has been seemingly accepted by every story that came out after it.
While [[PROSE]]: ''[[Rose Tyler (short story)|Rose Tyler]]'' was the first story to give a explicit location for the Powell Estate, scenes in [[TV]]: ''[[Aliens of London (TV story)|Aliens of London]]'' evidently depicted the Powell Estate being located in Kennington, specifically in a 1:1 location to its real world filming location, the Brandon Estate, located in Kennington.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080108080227/https://www.doctorwholocations.net/locations/brandonestate Brandon Estate on Doctor Who Locations via the Wayback Machine]</ref> Kennington is situated along the border of {{w|London Borough of Lambeth}} and the London Borough of Southwark, and the estate's location in the London Borough of Southwark was also evident from [[TV]]: ''[[Father's Day (TV story)|Father's Day]]''.
 
Thus, choosing a location that both aligns with the real world and the [[DWU]] logically makes sense. However, it was later established in [[COMIC]]: ''[[Silver Scream (comic story)|Silver Scream]]'' that the Powell Estate was located in Peckham, which has been seemingly accepted by every story that came out after it, which creates irreconcilable discrepancies with stories such as ''Aliens of London'', where various shots would be impossible if the Powell Estate was located in Peckham.
