Du Cane Court, Art Deco apartment building in Balham, London, England
Du Cane Court features 677 apartments spread across multiple floors, with a distinctive stepped profile and geometric decorative elements throughout the structure.
During World War II, the building remained undamaged, leading to speculation that German forces intended to use it as military headquarters after invasion.
The apartment complex attracted numerous music hall performers as residents during the 1930s and 1940s, including comedian Tommy Trinder.
The building provides 24-hour security, porter services, parcel collection, and maintenance staff, with direct access to both Underground and Overground stations.
The structure contains approximately two miles of corridors connecting its apartments, making it the largest privately owned residential block under one roof in Europe.
