A very large 1960s development comprising two long, low ranges and a slab-tower at the north end (Image]). It was built to house government workers by architect John Poulson, better known for the corruption scandal which enveloped him in 1972-73. For some years there has been talk of pulling all this down, at least one scheme has been rejected, and at the time of writing, David Chipperfield Architects are holding the baton.
