I was castigated yesterday for having limited my Poplar excursion to Robin Hood Gardens and not having included the nearby Balfron Tower, Ernö Goldfinger’s monumental, if bleak, tower block which overlooks the entrance to the Blackwall Tunnel. I was told it was particularly fine in its relationship to its setting. I don’t see this. It’s not quite my style, but I can see that it’s impressive:

looks very similar to the one at the end of goldborne road near the grand union canal
Yes, it’s a pair to the Trellick Tower, also by the Smithsons.
Yes, thanks for this suggestion. I’m having problems posting them, so this may be the answer.
