Albert Square
[edit]1 Albert Square
[edit]All three flats were converted into a house in 2015 and Vincent Hubbard along with wife Kim and daughter Pearl moved in. They were later joined by Vincent's mother Claudette Hubbard. Kim's Sister Denise Fox and surrogate father Patrick Trueman temporarily moved into the house in January 2016 but both moved back into Number 20 the following month. On Mothers Day 2016 Claudette was believed to have died having been buried in the floor under the basement, but was later revealed to be alive in Hospital. In April 2018, Vincent is kidnapped and disappears, so Kim and Pearl move back into Number 20. Max and Rainie Branning squat in the house for a few days whilst they look for somewhere to live.
In early 2019, Gray Atkins buys the house from Kim, and his wife Chantelle as well as their children Mia and Mackenzie move in. Chantelle is inadvertently killed by Gray after he attacks her. Shirley Carter and her sister Tina Carter later move in after Shirley befriends Gray, although Gray later kills Tina after she discovers the truth about what he did to Chantelle. Shirley Carter is invited to live with Gray after she stops him from killing himself. Her sister Tina Carter briefly moves in too until she’s killed by Gray. Shirley moves out in April 2021 and returns to The Queen Vic shortly after her family regain ownership of it. Chelsea Fox becomes engaged to Gray in Autumn 2021 and moves in. In March 2022, Gray is arrested for the murders of Chantelle, Tina and Kush Kazemi and imprisoned. Gray and Chelsea’s baby son, Jordan Atkins is discharged from hospital and lives with Chelsea, whilst Mack and Mia go to live with Chantelle’s mother Karen Taylor. Chelsea’s friend Whitney Dean also moves in with her to support her and help pay the mortgage the following month. They invite Felix and Finlay Baker to move in as well later in the year to help with the payments.

1A Albert Square
[edit]The basement flat of 1 Albert Square ("Cranleigh"), number 1A was the doctor's surgery, which has been run by all of Walford's local GPs.
There were two flats above the surgery.
The surgery was closed in 2015 due to property developers deciding to turn the entire building into a single property.
1B Albert Square

She came back to get Summer but her plan failed and she died by lighting a cigarette when the gas oven was on and caused a huge fire. In 2008 Dr. Poppy Merritt had a brief stint as the doctor but left in April 2009 and then Dr. Al Jenkins had become the new doctor and replaced her. Al moves out in early 2010 when he decides to move to Cornwall. Heather Trott moves in with her baby George in September 2010. The flat is incorporated along with 1A and 1C into a house in 2015.

5 Albert Square
[edit]The house was originally owned by Benny Bloom, who lived here with his wife Golda, but throughout the show's early history, this house was derelict and was used as a squat by a number of homeless characters, including Rod Norman, Donna Ludlow, Mandy Salter and Aidan Brosnan.
Richard Cole bought the property in 1993 and converted it into bedsits. The house was later sold to Phil Mitchell. During its time as flats/bedsits it was lived in by Ricky and Bianca Butcher, Liam Tyler, Sanjay Kapoor, Della Alexander and Binnie Roberts.
It was then converted into a semi-detached property and Phil and his wife Kathy lived here with their son Ben, until Kathy left Phil and took Ben with her to South Africa. Phil then shared the house with his girlfriend Lisa Shaw, and his godson Jamie also lived here. Other guests to stay with Phil have included his mother, Peggy, Dan Sullivan, Conor Flaherty and Harry Slater. Phil later moved to the Queen Vic with Sharon, and Steve Owen bought the house. He lived here alone, and later with Mel.
The house was then left empty until Den Watts' return from the 'dead'. He bought the house for his family, but after buying The Queen Vic, Johnny Allen bought the house. His daughter Ruby Allen and girlfriend Tina Stewart moved in soon after. Tina left Johnny, and Ruby moved in with her boyfriend Juley Smith, and then Ruby and Johnny left Walford to live in Essex. Johnny has since died in prison and Ruby moved in with the Slaters before leaving Walford for good.
The house, still owned by Ruby, was then left empty, until Max Branning, his wife Tanya and children Abi and Lauren moved in in late June 2006. Max has since been kicked out upon the revelation of his affair with Stacey, and, shortly after, Tanya's sister, Rainie Cross returned. Rainie was later asked to leave by Tanya as Max did not like the idea of an ex drug addict living with his children and was going to use that against Tanya to gain custody of his kids. The house is now occupied by Tanya, Lauren, Abi and baby Oscar.
On 1 July 2008, Max announced he'd bought the house from Ruby. However, on 3 July Max's brother Jack Branning announced that he had been in touch with Ruby and had beaten Max's bid for buying the house. After Max had recovered in hospital for being run over by Tanya, (but in fact it was Lauren who ran him over, as Tanya had been lying for Lauren to protect her) he then kicked Jack out of the house to look after Lauren, Abi and Oscar himself. In January 2009 when Tanya had been released from prison she kicked Max and his son Bradley out as she wanted to just be with her children. Lauren had gone off to live with people in the care of the social services after she had confessed to running over her father Max on 31 October 2008.
After being away for three months for the court hearing over Max's hit and run Lauren was allowed to return home to her family in April 2009. Max moved back in in July 2009 when Tanya and the kids let him back in so they can be a happy family again. As part of a wife-swap Tanya swapped places with best friend Jane Beale for a week. Tanya leaves with Lauren and Oscar in December 2009 when she finds out that Max has been in debt and didn't tell her, however Abi stays with Max. On Christmas Day, Tanya comes to the house and Max tells Abi that she must go with her as there is no need to stay with him, leaving Max living on his own in the house. In early 2010 Abi unexpectedly turns up at the car lot, surprising Max, telling him that she hated living with Tanya and wanted to move back in. Max's sister Carol and her son Billie move in several months later, as Carol had to help Max after the sudden death of his son Bradley. In spring 2010, Billie left to join the army. In July 2010, Abi convinced Max to let Darren Miller move in after Darren was kicked out of his flat. In August, Tanya's sister Rainie returned for a visit, and caused friction with Carol, as Rainie, in need of drugs, had stolen some of Carol's money. Ultimately Max threw both Carol and Rainie out. Vanessa Gold moves in after Harry throws her out, along with her daughter Jodie Gold. Vanessa and Jodie depart in Autumn 2011, after Vanessa discovers that Max has been having an affair with Tanya and Tanya and the kids move into number 5 after Greg Jessop sells their old house to Janine Butcher. In November 2011, Max returns with Derek Branning in tow. He reunites with Tanya and moves back in. Tanya's mother, Cora Cross moves in but after an argument, Tanya kicks out Cora. In 2012, Max's nephew, Joey Branning (who was having a secret relationship with Lauren) briefly moves in.
After it is revealed that Max has a secret wife (Kirsty Branning) and reveals in an argument with Tanya that he still has feelings for her, Tanya ejects Max from the family. Cora then moves back in to support Tanya and then Tanya leaves with Oscar after realising she can't stay in Walford and takes Lauren with her however Lauren comes back a few weeks later. In 2014, Cora and Dexter get kicked out by Max. In May, Abi and Lauren argue with Max and go to live with Cora - but they both later move back. Max begins a relationship with Emma Summerhayes and she moves in before dying. In 2015, Abi moves into 55 Victoria Road with the Mitchell's and Lauren leaves Walford for a new life in New Zealand with Peter. Max later moves in with his sister Carol Jackson as he cannot pay the mortgage after he loses the car lot so he rents it out until he and his daughters can be a family again. But when Max is later sent to prison he falls behind on the mortgage repayments and it is repossessed. In April 2016 Jack bought the house and decided to turn it into flats.

18 Albert Square
[edit]18 Albert Square (also Kimberley's Palace B&B and The Abercorn Bed and Breakfast) started as a B&B consisting of two doubles, three singles, dining room and lounge. It was managed by Madam Doris Bover (a character who was never seen) with the help of Marge Green, until it was bought by Pat and Frank Butcher in 1989. They also bought the attached house, 20 Albert Square. Frank's mother Mo Butcher and children Janine, Ricky and Diane lived here with them and Marge stayed on as their cleaner. Guests at the B&B included Simon Wicks, Cindy Beale, Mandy and Lorraine Salter, Mark Fowler, Sam Mitchell, Joe Wallace and Disa O'Brien. Both properties were sold to Mr. Charles Raymond in 1992.
Vicar Alex Healy converted the B&B to a shelter for the homeless for a while, and later it was restored to a B&B by Audrey Trueman and her son Anthony. When Audrey died, it was run by her ex-husband Patrick and other son Paul. Guests at the B&B during this time included Trevor and Little Mo Morgan, Sharon Watts, Wilfred Atkins, Janine Evans, Precious Hudson, Pat Butcher (who also worked as staff), Chrissie Watts, Barry and Natalie Evans, and JJ. Billy Mitchell and Honey Edwards stayed here briefly until they found a place of their own. Patrick's wife Yolande has since moved in, but it is no longer run as a B&B. Aubrey Valentine stayed with them briefly in 2006 and attempted to seduce Yolande. Bert Atkinson stayed there for several weeks with his grandson Jay. Denise Wicks and her daughters Chelsea and Libby Fox also live here. Darren Miller also moved here after the fire at his family's house and he now is satying here with his girlfriend Libby Fox. Lucas Johnson had recently moved in with his son Jordan Johnson to be with Denise as they had got back together. In June 2009 Chelsea Fox had run away to be with her drug dealer boyfriend Ellis after dumping recent boyfriend Theo Kelly but returned near the end of July 2009. Jordan Johnson later moved out to go live with his mother Trina Johnson.
Trina was impaled on a rake in September 2009 during an argument with Lucas, resulting in her death, and Jordan lived full-time with Lucas. Libby meanwhile began attending Oxford University, but returned home for frequent visits. The family went through considerable turmoil over the next year as Libby's father Owen Turner returned and Lucas strangled him, burying his body underneath Trina's memorial tree in the middle of Walford. When the body was found, Denise became a prime suspect, and Lucas subdued her and then kept her prisoner in a basement of the house next door, allowing everyone to believe she had committed suicide.

20 Albert Square
[edit]20 Albert Square "'(Garfield)'" (also Kimberley's Palace B&B, formerly The Abercorn Bed and Breakfast) started as a B&B consisting of two doubles, three singles, dining room and lounge. It was managed by Madam Doris Bover (a character who was never seen) with the help of Marge Green, until it was bought by Pat and Frank Butcher in 1989. They also bought the attached house, 18 Albert Square, for use as their residence, which was first occupied by Mrs Pollock. Frank's mother Mo Butcher and children Janine, Ricky and Diane lived here with them and Marge stayed on as their cleaner. Guests at the B&B included Simon Wicks, Cindy Beale, Mandy and Lorraine Salter, Mark Fowler, Sam Mitchell, Joe Wallace and Disa O'Brien. Both properties were sold to Mr. Charles Raymond in 1992.
Vicar Alex Healy converted the B&B to a shelter for the homeless for a while, and later it was restored to a B&B by Audrey Trueman and her son Anthony. When Audrey died, it was run by her ex-husband Patrick and other son Paul. Guests at the B&B during this time included Trevor and Little Mo Morgan, Sharon Watts, Wilfred Atkins, Janine Evans, Precious Hudson, Pat Butcher (who also worked as staff), Chrissie Watts, Barry and Natalie Evans, and JJ. Billy Mitchell and Honey Edwards stayed here briefly until they found a place of their own. Patrick's wife Yolande has since moved in, but it is no longer run as a B&B.

Libby meanwhile began attending Oxford University, but returned home for frequent visits. The family went through considerable turmoil over the next year as Libby's father Owen Turner returned and Lucas strangled him, burying his body underneath Trina's memorial tree in the middle of Walford. When the body was found, Denise became a prime suspect, and Lucas subdued her and then kept her prisoner in a basement of the house next door, allowing everyone to believe she had committed suicide. Denise managed to escape and returned home to her surprised family, with Lucas right behind her. The police soon apprehended Lucas, but this was all too much for Chelsea, and she agreed to go to Spain with Libby's grandmother, Liz Turner. Wanting Libby to have a fresh start, Denise convinced Libby to go on holiday with them and not return from university for visits.
Denise was left with Patrick and Jordan but the quiet house would soon have more noise when Denise's sister Kim Fox moved in following a breakup with her cheating boyfriend.

23 Albert Square
[edit]23 Albert Square ("Ventnor") was converted back into a house and in 2000, the Slater family moved in. As of May 2008, the occupants of the house are Charlie Slater, Mo Harris, Sean Slater and Stacey Branning, and their mother, Jean Slater. Various members of the Slater family and their partners have lived here at differing times, occasionally returning to the family home due to personal or economic problems after they have previously moved out. Past family occupants included, Kat Slater, Lynne Slater and her partner Garry Hobbs, Little Mo Slater and her partner Billy, Belinda Slater and Zoe Slater. Lodgers and guests have included Kelly Taylor, Donna Andrews and her baby, Laura Beale, Ruby Allen and Bert Atkinson. Trevor Morgan and Tom Banks were killed here in a house fire in 2002.
Roxy Mitchell moved in with Sean in 2008. Roxy and Sean had eventually left to find a place of their own and in August 2008 Stacey's friend Danielle Jones who she befriended while giving her a job on the stall had moved in. Stacey Slater had eventually moved back in after her break up with Bradley Branning in September 2008. In January 2009 Jean Slater left to live somewhere else after she was mentally ill from her bi-polar disorder from her son Sean Slater leaving but she had returned to live with the family in March 2009. In April 2009 Danielle Jones had died after being run over by Janine Butcher by accident on the same day her mother Ronnie Mitchell found out about her being her daughter who she gave away nearly 20 years ago. Stacey had now not only lost her brother but her best friend which has made her go off the rails and cause her to have erratic behaviour as her mother Jean Slater thinks that she may have the same illness as her as she could see the signs for bi-polar disorder.
In May 2009 Stacey Slater went to stay with cousin Lynne Hobbs for a few weeks to get away from Walford but came back in June 2009 to face the fact she has the illness of bi-polar disorder just like her mother Jean Slater. In August Charlie briefly moves to Medeira with his girlfriend Brenda but returns within a few days. When Charlie returns he brings back a new Russian friend named Orlenda, she stayed there for a few days but left when Charlie realised she was using him for his money. In October 2009 Jean had Stacey sectioned as Stacey's bi-polar disorder was spiraling out of control. Stacey returned in December 2009, pregnant with what she believed was a child by Archie Mitchell's rape. Bradley moved in with Stacey after they got back together, with Bradley pretending to be the baby's biological father. Stacey's friend Becca also moved in when she was released from the mental hospital. Becca, bitter when Bradley and Stacey marry, called the police to make them think Bradley killed Archie. Bradley then died while attempting to run from the cops, and Stacey, who had actually killed Archie, was devastated. She stayed in a flat out of town for a month before returning to Walford and her family. She gave birth several months later, to a daughter Lily, and tried to cope with raising her. Becca tried to control Stacey and all but cut Jean out of Stacey's life. Finally, when Jean told Stacey that Becca had called the police to report Bradley as Archie's killer, which had led to Bradley's death, Stacey cut Becca out of her life. Becca moved out, but not before throwing Bradley's urn against the wall, covering Stacey in his ashes.
The Slater house was shaken again when Kat Moon returned after nearly five years, now on the run from thugs over some money. Her estranged husband Alfie Moon soon followed. They moved into 46 Albert Square, a couple of months later, with the rest of the family.
Mo rents out house to Alfie's uncle, Eddie Moon and his two sons, Tyler Moon and Anthony Moon join him. Eddie leaves in October 2011, and Anthony leaves in August 2012 with Tyler moving in with girlfriend, Whitney Dean in the Butcher residence. Fatboy and Roxy Mitchell move in before Roxy returns to the Mitchell household and Mo kicks Fatboy out. She lets Derek Branning and Alice Branning move in. When Kat's affair with Derek is revealed, Derek let her live with him. He dies on 25 December 2012, leaving Alice and Kat living in number 23 and shortly after Alice's brother, Joey Branning moves in. Michael Moon moves in after estranged wife, Janine Butcher returns, until his death. Alice is imprisoned, and Kat briefly returns to The Queen Victoria when she reuintes with Alfie. Phil sells the pub so Kat, Alfie and Tommy Moon move into number 23 with Mo. In 2014 Alfie starts a fire and they have to move out because of the damage it caused. Although the building is severely damaged and very dangerous, when Nick Cotton is kicked out of Dot's house, he begins squatting in number 23. He later dies and the house becomes empty again. The house was then converted into flats.

43B Albert Square
[edit]Phil Mitchell originally lived in 43B Albert Square in 1991 when his brother Grant lived below him at 43B with Sharon Watts.
Steve Owen and his sister Jackie lived in the middle flat, in 1999. Steve was later joined by Melanie Healy.
Steve sold 43B to Sharon Watts and her fiancé Tom Banks in 2002. Tom died later that year, but Sharon kept the flat on and her sister Vicki Fowler came to live with her, as well as her adopted brother Dennis Rickman. The Watts later moved out of 43B in 2003, but Dennis and his girlfriend Zoe Slater, came back to live there in 2004. Both moved out when the relationship ended.
In April 2008, Ricky Butcher was offered the flat but refused. Vinnie Monks then lived in the flat with his girlfriend Shirley Carter and her bestfriend Heather Trott. On 1 August 2008, Vinnie, after discovering Shirley had feelings for Phil Mitchell, threw her out of the flat but decided Heather could still stay. On 5 August 2008, Vinnie handed over the keys to the flat to Shirley, stating he was moving in with Gary and Minty.
Shirley then asked her friend Heather to move in. Heather had later moved out in April 2009 after Shirley starting sleeping with Phil Mitchell and they both kept getting drunk and leaving the flat in a mess. Shirley had later got her act together and dumped Phil as he was just using her which then made her to make a fresh start by getting a job at the chippy after losing her job as a barmaid at the Queen Victoria pub and she also asks Heather to move back in in May 2009. In October 2009 Heather Trott gave birth to a baby boy whom she had named George Trott. Billy Mitchell and Jay Brown also stay here for a brief time before moving in with Archie Mitchell. Phil Mitchell and son Ben moved in in December 2009 after Archie Mitchell had kicked the rest of the Mitchells out due to the loan they had been given by Ian Beale being sold to Archie and his fiancee Janine Butcher. The loan was not paid back so therefore Archie then owned The Queen Victoria. After Archie is killed Roxy gets The Vic and Phil informs Shirley that he and Ben will be moving back there. Shirley is surprised when her niece Zsa Zsa comes to stay in early 2010. In March 2010, Shirley, Heather, Zsa Zsa and George all move to number 27 with Phil Mitchell and his son Ben. Heather and George move out shortly and back to 43B when Phil tells them that there isn't enough room for everyone. When Roxy kicks Billy and Jay out of their home due to their being unable to pay rent, they move into the flat with Heather and George. In August 2010 they are all evicted because the landlord could not make his mortgage repayments.

45 Albert Square
[edit]45 Albert Square ("Rosedene") has been home to the Beale family since the start of the Second World War (1939) when it had an outside toilet. The property was owned by the council until 2004 when Pauline purchased it from them. Lou Beale lived here until she died in 1988. Her children Pauline and Pete were born in the house, and Pauline later lived here with her husband Arthur and their children Mark, Michelle and Martin Fowler. Mark and Michelle later moved out, and Arthur died. Pauline's friend Derek Harkinson moved in with her but moved out after an argument. Martin's wife Sonia also moved in, and Pauline handed over half the house to Martin and Sonia. Sonia left Martin for Naomi Julien and moved out again. Pauline's new husband Joe Macer and his friend Bert Atkinson since moved in, but in April 2006 Pauline kicked them both out after her discovery of their criminal past and dumped them on Dot and Jim Branning. Pauline eventually relented and let Joe return home in June 2006.
Pauline lived in the house alone again after learning that Martin and Sonia were back together. She accidentally stared a fire in the kitchen, but she continued to live there alone. Pauline was due to go to America on Christmas Day 2006, and packed all her things, but died in the Square after arguing with Sonia in the living room, which ended in Pauline getting slapped and both her, and her treasured fruit bowl smashed off of the ground and also with Joe (off-screen). Martin then set about clearing all her belongings out of the house.
On 26 January 2007, Joe confessed to Dot that he had caused Pauline's death by hitting her with a frying pan. Dot tried to tell her husband Jim but Joe covered her mouth. Jim freed Dot and in the struggle, Joe fell through the bedroom window and onto the Fowler family run market stall, and died instantly.
In Pauline's will, she left her half of the house to Martin. The mortgage was now paid through an insurance policy of Pauline's. Pauline's will, however, stated that Martin would lose his right to her half of the house if he lived there with Sonia. Sonia, Martin and Rebecca left Walford. The will stated that if Martin was denied his right to the house, it was to go to his cousin, Ian Beale, who moved in and currently lives there with his family. The house was then currently empty, although Pauline's ashes remained on the mantelpiece until Dot Cotton buried them by Arthur Fowler, who was Pauline's first husband. While it was empty, Peter Beale and Jay Brown broke in, as did Max Branning and Stacey Slater. Honey Mitchell expressed interest in renting it from Ian but Ian refused to rent to the Mitchells.
In April, Ian decided to move in there himself with his family, but Peter and Lucy refused because they believed the ghost of Pauline would haunt them. Eventually Ian gave the ashes to Dot, and Peter and Lucy agreed that as Pauline's ashes were no longer in the house, she would not haunt them. Dot had them in her house for a few months until her and Ian decided to place them to rest in Arthur's grave so they now are together since 1996 for eternity.
Ian has since realised the living room and the dining room were too small so he knocked the wall out between the two rooms to make more room. When the house was owned by Pauline, the living room was used as a bedroom, for when Pauline's son and family lived there. When Ethel Skinner was gravely ill, Pauline let her live there. Ethel asked Dot Cotton to euthanise her on her 80th birthday, and after a while, reluctantly agreed. The dining room was used both as a living room and a dining room, where Pauline's treasured fruit bowl sat on the table for years. The kitchen has now been re-fitted and the old fireplace in the kitchen has been raised up a bit since Pauline lived there. There are now three bedrooms – the master which used to be Lucy's, which she once shared with Bobby, and the attic conversion that Joe and Bert made, shared by Steven and Peter until Steven's departure.
Jane's brother, Christian turned up in January 2008 and lived with the Beales for a month, sleeping on the sofa until Ian leased the flat above Beale's Place to him. Lucy stayed with Christian for a few months due to family issues but moved back in with Ian and his family before her death.
From November 2008 to February 2009 Jane's mother Linda Clarke had come to stay for a few months as she had split up with Jane and Christian's father Roger Clarke as he had been having an affair.
From December 2008 to January 2009 Lauren Branning briefly lived with the Beales after Tanya Branning had asked best friend Jane Beale to look after her while Tanya was in prison as she covered for Lauren as Lauren could not live with her father Max Branning as she had run him over in October 2008.
In May 2009 Ian, Jane and Bobby went on a trip to Scotland and returned at the end of June 2009. They had left Christian in charge of looking after Lucy and Peter and taking care of the businesses. Christian has also moved in while Ian and Jane are away to look after Lucy and Peter.
As part of a wife-swap Jane has swapped places with best friend Tanya Branning for a week. In November 2009 Jane had left Walford for a while as she felt she needed a break from Ian as he wouldn't understand her need for a child of her own. In December 2009 Jane returned to the Beales. In the first half of 2010 Lucy got pregnant, and agreed to give the baby to Jane, but Ian convinced her to have an abortion and lie that she'd miscarried. Ian, Lucy, and Peter kept this secret from Jane. Lucy also cheated on her exams, with Ian's blessing. When the school found out and told Lucy she would have to take them all over again, Lucy was angry that Ian pretendeded he hadn't known what she'd done. She went to stay with her grandmother Bev. Ian and Jane divorce, and she leaves Walford in January 2012. Ian gets engaged to Mandy Salter, and a returning Lucy tries to split them up. Ian suffers from a nervous breakdown after Ben Mitchell confides in him about killing Heather Trott. Mandy's mum Lorraine passes away, and Mandy wants to postpone the wedding and grieve however Ian refuses to let her and carries on with their wedding plans. On their wedding day, Ian's erratic behaviour worsens when he and Lucy have a row and he chooses Mandy over Lucy. Mandy is perturbed by this and tells Ian she is leaving him.
Denise Fox moves in when she starts a relationship with Ian and Peter later moves back in. When Denise discovers Ian slept with prostitute Rainie Cross on the night Lucy was murdered she is disgusted and moves back in with Patrick.

[edit]The ground floor flat of 47 Albert Square was originally owned and lived in by Alan McIntyre, a local builder. Saeed and Naima Jeffery owned the top flat originally, but then sold it to Alan, who rented it to Ali and Sue Osman in 1986. When Mehmet Osman gambled away his home, his wife Guizin and his children Rayif, Emine and Murat, moved into Ali and Sue's flat. By 1989 the Osmans had all vacated.
In 1992 Mark Fowler and Steve Elliot lived in the top flat and Hattie Tavernier lived here with Steve until he jilted her. Nigel Bates moved in when Steve left in 1993 and Arthur Fowler came to stay after he was thrown out of his marital home for having an affair. Siblings Tiffany and Simon Raymond lived in the ground floor flat with Tony Hills in 1996, whilst drug-dealer Dan Zappieri and his girlfriend Melanie lived in the top flat for a while. Lorraine and Joe Wicks later lived in the top flat.
Later the top flat was occupied by Ricky and Bianca Butcher, whilst the ground floor flat was used as a squat by Robbie Jackson, Lenny Wallace and Huw Edwards. Later Barry and Natalie Evans lived in the ground floor flat for a while. In 2010, Grace and Mercy Olubunmi move in, and are later joined by Zsa Zsa Carter when she is made homeless. Zsa Zsa leaves Walford a few months later.
In 2013, Max Branning and his wife, Kirsty move into number 47B while Ava Hartman and her son, Dexter move into 47A. In June, Max leaves Kirsty after he discovers she lied to him about being pregnant and he moves into number 5 and the following month Sam James moves in with Ava and Dexter, but in November, Ava forces him to leave. Ava then moves away and Dexter moves in with his grandmother Cora Cross. Carl White briefly moves into the top flat in 2013 before he is murdered by Ronnie Mitchell. Terry Spraggan and his children move into the flat in 2014 before moving to Milton Keynes. Kat and Alfie Moon squat in 47B in December 2014 after they are kicked out of Number 43 for squatting. Alfie Moon and Donna Yates later move in to 47A. Alfie then moves in with Kat at 91A George Street. Roxy Mitchell moves in to 47B in May 2016 after revealing that the previous residents trashed the flat and the landlord was desperate to rent it out cheaply. But the following month she gives up the lease on the flat and moves into Phil's. When Donna's foster mother Claudette Hubbard proves to Donna that she's changed, Donna allows her to move in with her. Claudette leaves the square in November, and in April 2017, Donna moves out when her landlord fails to fix her boiler.
In May 2017, the flats are sold to mysterious property company, Weyland & Co, whose Chairman, Hugo Browning states they plan to demolish them. In 2022, Suki Panesar has them converted into a GP surgery called ‘The Panesar House’.

Sharon soon returns to Walford, but Phil remains in Italy. Ben and Jay move into Number 18 in March. Phil eventually returns in August 2017 and moves back into the house and in April 2018, Michelle leaves Walford.
During 2019, Louise’s boyfriend Keanu Taylor moves in although they later move out to live with her mum Lisa Fowler. And after the discovery of Sharon’s affair with Keanu, Phil throws her out.
