I tend to walk back from the office on a Tuesday and often pass the end of this estate near Swiss Cottage. This evening I wandered in for a mooch.

It's bonkers; hats off to Neave Brown for such an interesting design. The estate is long and gently curving, a series of maisonettes that are terraced (like fields on hills, not just one abutting the other), many with balconies. The central path is punctuated by circular stairs dropping to a lower garage level. Entirely made from concrete and with a heating complex mid way it's like something from a dystopian 70's film.
