In the early 1960s, there was a further substantial expansion of the town, with people from London being relocated by the Greater London Council, mainly to a London overspill estate to the south of Water Eaton.
By the date of designation of Milton Keynes, it had already been virtually absorbed by the 1960s Greater London Council-built London overspill district known as the Lakes Estate.
