22 Addiscombe Road
Quite a curiosity - only the glass is flat! One has an urge to flatten it like a concertina. By Biscoe & Stanton, 1961-63, for General Accident, Fire and Life Insurance, and now occupied by MetLife, an arm of the American Life Insurance Company.
Between the 1950s and the 1970s Croydon experienced a burst of commercial development unparalleled anywhere else in the country. The impetus was provided by the Croydon Corporation Act of 1956 which gave Croydon Council powers to develop land in the borough. A combination of improved roads, government incentives to relocate from, and Croydon's proximity to, central London, and lower rents attracted employers in their droves. By 1970 about six million square feet of office space had been provided in central Croydon. Development has continued since, but at a much slower rate. From a distance the skyline is impressive (the nearest this country comes to Manhattan), but the problem is that few of the buildings are of architectural merit.

Through an insalubrious underpass can be found a reminder of the original building's incarnation as NLA House (Image]). The backing is blue mosaic tiles.
