Keeling House, Grade II* listed residential building in Poplar, England

Keeling House consists of four blocks of maisonettes arranged around a central service tower, rising sixteen floors above Claredale Street.

Architect Denys Lasdun designed this residential structure in 1955 to address housing shortages in post-war London through modernist principles.

Each wing of the building faces inward, with communal areas and drying spaces intended to encourage social interactions among residents.

The building underwent extensive renovation between 1999 and 2001, converting the former council housing into modern luxury apartments with added penthouses.

The structure features a clustered arrangement of four residential blocks, deviating from traditional linear tower designs of its period.
