This brutal development of affordable homes by the Mayor of London is so uncompromising and unsympathetic to its surroundings it makes me wince. The 1950's yellow brick Council flats to the left were built upon a site of Victorian houses destroyed in 1944 by a V1 rocket bomb and they have a gentle grace to their design. Why could the new development not have been blended in?
