Stanbury Court, Haverstock Hill

After the flush of development in the late 1900s on the Chalcot Estate there was virtually no new building during the 1920s but large blocks of flats were erected during the 1930s, despite protests by Hampstead council and the Ratepayers' Association that there were already far too many flats in the borough. An application to build flats on the corner of Haverstock Hill and England's Lane was made in 1936, although apparently they were not built until 1947. This seems surprising as the style of these flats is distinctly Art Deco, See Image The building on the left is the Sir Richard Steele, see Image for information.
