Alexandra Road Estate, Brutalist residential complex in Camden, England
Three parallel concrete blocks stretch along railway tracks, with the tallest building forming an eight-story noise barrier shaped like a ziggurat.
Constructed between 1972 and 1978 under architect Neave Brown's direction, this estate marked a departure from traditional tower block housing developments.
The estate includes 520 apartments, educational facilities, and community spaces, reflecting the 1970s vision of integrated social housing in London.
Each residence features direct street access and private outdoor areas, with apartments ranging from ground-level units to upper-floor duplexes with terraces.
In 1993, Alexandra Road Estate became the first post-war housing development to receive Grade II* listed status for architectural excellence.
