One block of a development by Lambeth council in 1967-74 (in the days when local authorities employed architects and built public housing). Pevsner comments that it is "stylistically still very much in the International Modern tradition...with ingenious planning it was possible to give all the flats front doors at ground level, reached by paths along the contours of the hill". The other side affords excellent views towards central London.
