“Lambeth Towers”, Lambeth Road, London, UK [1964-1972] _ Architect: George Finch [for Lambeth Borough Council] _ Photos by Spyros Kaprinis [24.03.2022].
“Working under Lambeth's chief architect and planner Ted Hollamby, George Finch pioneered an architecture that created buildings with a mix of social provision. Lambeth Towers was a microcosm of the 1960s Welfare State. It provided affordable, high quality housing, medical facilities and a lunch club for the elderly.Today the building survives as a reminder of the inclusive, benevolent society that has been dismantled over the last 30 years.”
