Looking crystalline white against the blue sky, these flats were designed by Frederick Gibberd in 1935, and were one of the first such developments in the International Modern style in Britain. The flats are arranged so that most do not face the busy main road, they were equipped with many modern conveniences such as boilers and wirelesses, and communal facilities included a rooftop garden and open-air swimming pool. Grade II* listed.
This was Gibberd's first major commission, and while his career prospered (Harlow New Town, Heathrow Airport, Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral), he never again designed in a similar style.

Frederick Gibberd's early accomplishment.
I think the feature in the foreground is the original outdoor swimming pool, now filled in.

Christ Church, Christchurch Road (1)
Designed in 1840 by James Wild, Christ Church is an architectural landmark. The details are simple and clear, arguably prefiguring modernism by almost 100 years. It is built of stock brick with striking use of polychromy, and an imposing campanile. Grade I listed.
Attempting to snap buildings such as this is a constant reminder of the extent to which signage and general street clutter have proliferated over the years. It is like a visual assault, and results in one having to weigh up one large-ish road sign and a streetlamp against two no-entry signs, equations which are not amenable to standard mathematical techniques. I'm still not sure I arrived at the right answer here.
