Wendover House, Thurlow Street
The Aylesbury Estate's largest 'barrier' block. Pevsner reports that, according to the Guinness Book of Records, it is "the longest block in Europe built to an industrialised system".
Catch it while you can - it is due to be pulled down, a process which is likely to increase its resemblance to the town in Buckinghamshire.

Name panel in bespoke tiles, Tenterden House, Kinglake Estate, Walworth
This style of name panel is also seen on similar blocks in Camberwell Image The generally more refined design of Tenterden House suggests that it was built later than the rest on Kinglake, or was by the same architect.
