10-storey Wendover flats facing Thurlow Street, Aylesbury Estate, Walworth, London
This block is about 250m long. Behind the camera is the southernmost of the Wendover slabs, the highest at 14 storeys: see Julian Osley's Image The Aylesbury Estate is magnificent cityscape on a vast scale but in detail is not appealing. Nevertheless for thousands of families it is home.

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.

Now it and Surrey Grove are stubs on the edge of the Aylesbury Estate. Two of the blocks in the Wolverton group are on the left.
