Alexandra Road Estate is an iconic brutalist landmark within London’s urban landscape 🩶

Completed in 1978, it features 4-story high terraced buildings with a continuous public walkway that serves both rows of homes.

The architect behind the estate, Neave Brown, broke away from post-war norms of standardised high-rises, crafting a low-rise, geometrically coherent estate inspired by traditional terraced housing.

Over time the estate has become celebrated as a great example of people-focused design, with every flat having a private open space and spacious rooms.

Recognised for its innovative approach to social housing, Alexandra Road Estate was awarded Grade II status in 1993.
