The flats occupy the block between First and Second Avenues and were built in the early 1960s. Originally the site of 1-7 Queen's Gardens whose style was similar to neighbouring Image and just as exclusive as the wealthy Sassoon family owned a property here. Between the wars numbers 4-5 became the Kingsway Hotel which eventually extended into the rest of the block after the Second World War by which time number 1 had been hit by a bomb and demolished. The rest was demolished in 1959 to make way for the current building. See http://regencysociety-jamesgray.com/volume12/source/jg_12_026.html for a view taken prior to demolition.
