Lichfield Court

Lichfield Court comprises two residential blocks in Streamline Moderne style situated on Sheen Road, featuring central courtyards, gardens, and decorative ponds. The complex contains 211 flats of varying sizes from studios to three-bedroom units arranged across both buildings.

This site once held Lichfield House, which functioned as a residence for the Bishop of Lichfield until George Broadbridge purchased the property in 1933. The present complex was subsequently built in the modern architectural style of that era.

The courtyards feature sculptural walkways that shape how residents move through the complex, reflecting a design approach that treats everyday circulation as something worth careful attention.

Visitors can explore the exterior spaces with gardens and ponds, which are accessible from the street. The property sits prominently on Sheen Road, making it easy to view and photograph the architecture from public areas.

The complex served as a filming location for the television adaptation of Agatha Christie's detective novel Eins, zwei, Schnürt die Schuhe. This film connection has contributed to its cultural recognition among mystery enthusiasts.
