Lovely little estate of three storey 'villas' with six flats each, strung out along the north edge of Clissold Park. A shared garden shields many of the flats from the street. A front garden zone is nicely planted with anemones, lavender, roses and...

Whitehall Lodge
1938
Architect: tbcBorough: Haringey
This imposing 6 storey white deco block of flats was built by the same developer as built Ruskin Park House (English & Scottish Properties). It is unclear who designed it. The exterior is extremely plain - no lintels or cills - the only real...
West Hill Court
1933
Architect: William Bryce BinnieBorough: Camden
This development is on the site of the former Queen Alexandra Hospital. It is very tucked away and discovering it feels like quite a find. The buildings and gardens have the feel of Park Court in Sydenham by Gibberd, with classic white rendered...
Westbury Court
Architect: Edmund CavanaghBorough: Lambeth
I need to find out more about the edifice above Clapham South Station, which is suffering from some neglect. But the windows have been ‘well-neglected’, the original Crittalls with their probably authentic bright green paintwork and lovely...
Wavertree Court
1933
Architect: R TomsBorough: Lambeth
Wavertree Court, standing across Wavertree Road on the opposite corner from Corner Fielde, was designed in a Dutch style with mansard roofs incorporating dormer windows and return gable ends. The exterior is rendered and painted white which gives...
Viceroy Court
1937
Architect: Marshall and TweedyBorough: Westminster
Flats range from studios to five bedroom and are arranged around four cores. Each flat has a private balcony and there is also a roof garden, which has a full height protecting wall with portholes in it to the non-park...
Turnour House
1934
Architect: Joseph EmbertonBorough: Tower Hamlets
It is sad to visit Turnour House which has clearly been the subject of long term neglect. A well executed new park sits adjacent, flanked by some refurbished 1960s homes but Emberton’s little gem is scarred and falling apart close by. Emberton’s...
Trinity Court
1935
Architect: F Taperell and HaaseBorough: Camden
Set at the edge of a pretty public churchyard, Trinity Court is an unusual deco block with no real lookalikes in the capital. It glories in its wedding cake whiteness and blue metalwork detailing, as well as sporting an old-fashioned lift and inset...
Taymount Grange
1935
Architect: George Bertram CarterBorough: Lewisham
Taymount Grange was built on the site of Taymount, a 19th Century house and the former Queens Tennis Club. The developer was Sir Malerham Perks. It has a steel frame with masonry infill and a rendered finish, flat roof and metal windows. When built...
Streatham Court
1936
Architect: R TomsBorough: Lambeth
This courtyard development was designed for the Bell Property Trust, and was sold through the same sales brochure as their other developments in Streatham. In this scheme, the apartment blocks are set back from the High Road behind Leigham Hall...
Streatleigh Court
1937
Architect: Frank HarringtonBorough: Lambeth
The six storey front of this large building has unusual brickwork. Small full height canted bay windows and bricks laid at an angle create vertical striped patterns to animate the facade. In addition there is a steep mansard roof of red pantiles...
Stockleigh Hall
1937
Architect: Robert AtkinsonBorough: Westminster
This U shaped block overlooks Regents Park, sitting in a row of iconic parkside buildings from the Edwardian through to the 1970s. Flats vary from two to four bedrooms. There are six stair cores with two flats per floor, and an underground car park...

The Shrubbery
1935
Architect: Cockett Henderson and GillowBorough: Westminster
The buildings were designed and built for the North-East London Property Company Ltd. Cockett, Henderson & Gillow Ltd appears to have been a firm of land and estate agents, auctioneers, surveyors and valuers established in the 1890s. The...
Russell Court
1937
Architect: G Val Myer + F J Watson HartBorough: Camden
This building places a large number of small flats (studios and a few one bedrooms) over what was originally a petrol station at ground floor. Reinforced concrete ducts which carry services up the building also act as columns. There is an...
Ruskin Park House
1938-54
Architect: Alexander Stuart GrayBorough: Southwark
Started before the war on the site of a single house, this set of three buildings took some time to emerge due to the collapse of the developer (English and Scottish), then hostilities, then a dispute with the contractors. The LCC acquired the...
Regency Lodge
1938
Architect: Robert AtkinsonBorough: Camden
Situated on the traffic roundabout at Swiss Cottage, Regency Lodge has quite a brutal feel to it: not much in the way of soft landscaping to soften the hard masonry exterior. The Odeon cinema sits next door and may well have been part of the same...
Park Court
1936
Architect: Frederick GibberdBorough: Lewisham
Gibberd designed the Park Court flats in a modernist style, only to have the plans thrown out by the local planners who demanded a neo-Georgian approach. After a battle, Cannon (the developer) and Gibberd won and the estate was built in 1936 to...
Pullman Court
1936
Architect: Frederick GibberdBorough: Westminster
Developed by William Bernstein. Opposition to the development was strong due to the lack of family homes and the modern appearance. The development was originally to be known as 'Relay House' and at some point during its construction it became known...
Oslo Court
1937
Architect: Robert AtkinsonBorough: Westminster
Overlooking Regents Park. All flats are one bedroom, with five flat types. Two stair cores and one long corridor linking. Almost all flats given a view of the park, resulting in the unusual balcony configuration. Restaurant on ground floor is...
Northwood Hall
1935
Architect: George Edward BrightBorough: Haringey
The overall plan is an unusual cruciform shape sitting in a large garden; flats have very long frontages and there are no internal rooms. Much emphasis was placed on the ‘healthiness’ of the building in its original brochure. Flats range from...
Oaklands Estate
tbc
Architect: tbcBorough: Lambeth
I don’t know much about this yet, but clearly someone at LCC architects department in the 1930s was given a bit of rope to express themselves! As usual with the public sector expression of 1930s housing architecture, the missing pieces are any...
Ormonde Court
1935
Architect: Frank ScarlettBorough: Wandsworth
I loved this surprising building. The facade to Upper Richmond Road is quite low key, with a one storey entrance lobby hiding a beautifully proportioned courtyard garden behind. There are very few common doors, explained by the stark access...
Nevilles Court
1935
Architect: Acworth and MontaguBorough: Brent
The development originally had tennis courts, a playground and flower gardens. Flats range from two to three bedrooms and are arranged across seven cores. Private balconies are very generous and are accessed via full width sliding folding doors....
Merton Mansions
tbc
Architect: MapBorough: Merton
A set of buildings in the same ‘Dutch’ vein as Ealing Village but not quite as fancy. Replacement windows and an overdose of car parking in the central space spoil the 30s detail but the overall effect is still powerful. Brick elevations face...
Mundania Court
tbc
Architect: MapBorough: Southwark
This building’s history is very elusive - the internet offers up no clues as to who designed it, when or who for. This doughnut-form building has one deco facade to Mundania Road and presents a more conventional elevation to Forest Hill Road. But...
Myrdle Court
tbc
Architect: MapBorough: Tower Hamlets
This elegant and slightly moody looking building is suffering neglect at the hands of its freeholders. There is a well known alternative publishing house, Myrdle Court Press, which is based in the...
Manor Fields
1933
Architect: Trehearne and NormanBorough: Wandsworth
This estate is astonishing: 1930s goes mediaeval with an Oxbridge College feel and block names to match. The grounds are the most beautiful and extensive I have seen and the buildings are immaculately...
Marsham Court
1937
Architect: T P BennettBorough: Westminster
Developed by Associated London Properties, this development comprises flats from studio to three bedrooms arranged around four stair cores. The ground floor originally had four private dining rooms and a restaurant. The presence of the restaurant...
Lordship Estate
1936
Architect: Howes and JackmanBorough: Hackney
These buildings were developed by Stoke Newington Borough Council. Deck access was used and considered to be more economical where flats of very varied sizes were proposed (from one to five bedrooms). All flats have either or both of a large bay...
Manor Court
1935
Architect: R TomsBorough: Lambeth
Manor Court is a four storey development arranged around a large central garden and was a Bell Properties scheme. These blocks of flats have white painted brick exterior walls and Dutch style mansard roofs. The mansard roofs incorporate dormer...
Lichfield Court
1935
Architect: George Bertram CarterBorough: Richmond upon Thames
The management company has done a good job of updating this stark but elegant set of buildings in Richmond. The development does feel dense and the garden is definitely to look at rather than play in. The original objective of the developers was to...
Leigham Hall Mansions
1936
Architect: R TomsBorough: Lambeth
This pair of purpose built apartment blocks and street level shops, built circa 1936, was designed for the Bell Property Trust Ltd. Five floors of flats are accessed from street level through a number of original stylised front doors. The pairs of...
Lennox House
1935
Architect: J E M MacgregorBorough: Hackney
Built by the Bethnal Green and East London Housing Association, this unusual building attempted to give all flats a meaningful open space through its section. The full length balconies have integrated flower boxes. The contractor was Demolition and...
Lawns Court
1933
Architect: Welch Cachemaille-Day + LanderBorough: Brent
This collection of three storey 'villas' (developed by Haymills) is tucked away behind hedges and up slopes, hidden from public view. There is something Viennese about Lawns Court, with shades of Karl Marx Hof and Isokon in the detailing, and an...
Kingsley Court
1933
Architect: Peter CaspariBorough: Brent
This is a gem of a building which is being very badly neglected by its freeholder. Built for Davis Estates, it has a curved, organic `Z'-shaped plan on acute angled site. Six storeys. This is one of the first blocks of flats in an expressionist...
Langham Court
tbc
Architect: MapBorough: Merton
This one is tucked right away by the railway near Raynes Park station and is quite a surprise amongst its more conventional neighbours. The building is C shaped with the concave side as the formal frontage, compromised by extensive external pipework...
Jubilee Court
tbc
Architect: Zwi SirotkinBorough: Croydon
Sad that many of the windows have been replaced by someone unimaginative as can be seen in the before and after photos to the left. The building struggles to remain cheerful in its dreary...
Kensal House
1936
Architect: Robert AtkinsonBorough: Kensington and Chelsea
This development was erected by the Gas, Light and Coke Company to demonstrate the economic use of gas as a fuel in low rented flats. Facilities included a social club, recreation room, playground and nursery school. Flats have either two or three...
Kent House
1936
Architect: Connell Ward and LucasBorough: Camden
Developed by a splinter group of the St Pancras Home Improvement Society, this is a rare example of the public or charitable patronage of modernism. Most of the ground floor is given over to communal space: gardens, play,...
John Scurr House
1937

Hillrise Mansions
tbc
Architect: E C P MonsonBorough: Haringey
Some subtle brick variation and the large, spaced out lettering on the elevation just about lifts this 30s building from its stark simplicity. It is just up the road from Coleman Mansions and may be part of the then Borough of Islington’s...
Hillfield Court
1934
Architect: T P BennettBorough: Camden
Hillfield Court, so named in commemoration of the grand housewhich formerly stood on the site, was just one part of a larger development. The scheme also included two other mansion blocks - Tudor Close (1935) to the back of the estate; and on...
Hightrees House
tbc
Architect: tbcBorough: Lambeth
Hightrees House is an odd place. What was clearly quite a luxury development overlooking a pretty part of Clapham Common has had an ugly storey added to it in recent times, complete with incongruous black weather boarding at the junction between new...
Highfield Court
1933
Architect: Amnon Vivian PilichowskiBorough: Barnet
One of the more obviously modernist and rectilinear developments constructed in ferro concrete. A brick ground floor supports a white concrete vertical board-marked upper pavilion with three stairs in an L shaped plan. Porter’s flat overlooks...
Heathview
tbc
Architect: F Taperell and HaaseBorough: Camden
An unusual building characterised by green roof tiles and a scored render finish. The building appears to be rented and run by a co-op. It has an original lift and quite an ‘old school’ feel inside. The garden at the back is narrow but...
Hartington Court
unknown
Architect: John E AdamsBorough: Hounslow
Hartington Court sits happily next door to a boat club on the Thames in Chiswick. Deco features include curved ended shortening access balconies, a vertical emphasis to main doors and banded windows. The same elevation faces the river and the...

The Grampians
1937
Architect: Stanley Hinge HampBorough: Hammersmith and Fulham
The Grampians is a very imposing and sculptural block just off the Shepherd’s Bush roundabout. The main entrance sequence has been designed to impress with its welcoming recessed layout, moulded concrete details and built-in shopfronts at ground...
Florin Court
1936
Architect: Guy MorganBorough: Islington
Flats range from studios to two bedrooms. Flats arranged around single core and pair of internal corridors with additional two escape stairs. The plan form was contrived to afford the maximum number of flats with views over the square. Economy of...
Forest Croft
1937
Architect: Arnold Andre HiguerBorough: Lewisham
Built on the site of a house called ‘The Mount’. This building has been seriously neglected (spalling render etc.) and has had ugly new windows put in. The private roads are in very poor condition. A shame - it is upstaged by its neighbour,...
Fairacres
1936
Architect: Minoprio and SpencelyBorough: Wandsworth
Fairacres is a confident, muscular building set into a huge and quite awesome landscape. I wasn’t quite prepared for the richness of detail in this incredible development. Porthole windows, green retractable awnings, bespoke signage and true...
Ealing Village
1937
Architect: R TomsBorough: Ealing
Ealing Village was designed for Bell Property in Dutch Colonial style, apparently to attract film stars from Ealing Studios. It had (and still has some of) a clubhouse, swimming pool and tennis court, bowling green and croquet lawn. Many of the film...
East Acton Court
1936
Architect: G A JellicoeBorough: Ealing
It was sad visiting this modest little building just off the A40. The original brickwork has been rendered over and painted, and the Crittalls replaced with inevitable landlord’s best uPVC. Jellicoe’s nice little curved flourishes in plan are...

Crescent Court
1934
Architect: Peter CaspariBorough: Kingston upon Thames
Another gem from Mr Caspari, and this time beautifully looked after. This so much resembles Glyn Court that I think (though I have no evidence) that he must have designed that as well. The black Crittalls look just right within the striped brick and...
Chatsworth Court
1935
Architect: Murrell and PigottBorough: Kensington and Chelsea
When completed, Chatsworth Court was promoted as a ‘country club in a garden’, with facilities including tennis and squash courts, a swimming pool, restaurant and optional maid services. The new flats also offered the latest in home conveniences...
Cholmeley Lodge
1934
Architect: Guy MorganBorough: Haringey
This building has a very unusual plan with three curved concave blocks of 30 foot radius. The building was originally planned for Bournemouth, but the planners would not allow the modern look, wanting tudor timberwork to soften the elevation. Morgan...

Architect: Robert James Hugh MintyBorough: Camden

Benhurst Court
1935
Architect: George Edward BrightBorough: Lambeth

Addisland Court
1936

Arbour House
1938
Architect: Bernard James BelsherBorough: Tower Hamlets
