Finsbury Health Centre

Opened in 1938, Finsbury Health Centre was designed in modernist style by architect Berthold Lubetkin. At the time, Finsbury was one of the poorest areas in London, and Lubetkin believed that modern designs would be a tool for social progress, commenting that “nothing is too good for ordinary people”.

The health centre – which on opening contained a TB ward, a solarium, and a delousing station – was designed to be inviting to its patients. The curved entrance, flanked by two wings of offices and examination rooms, was designed to resemble welcoming arms. Today, this effect is largely obscured by rampant vegetation, and the building is in need of some freshening up, but it still remains an active health centre, and is much-loved by some local residents.

On the market For sale 1 bedroom flat Bevin Court London EC1 £475,000

It’s been a while since I saw a one bedroom flat listed on this estate. When I was looking to buy I was desperate for a flat to come on the market here. The location is great being just off Amwell Street in Clerkenwell. Bevin Court was designed by by Skinner, Bailey and Lubetkin for Finsbury Council and built in 1951–54 — and is one of several schemes they designed for the borough. The block comprises 130 flats and maisonettes, and is dominated by a striking constructivist stairwell which was restored a few years ago.

This one bedroom flat is on the sixth floor. The plan is pretty straight forward — essentially a square, with the bedroom and the living room at the back, and the kitchen and the bathroom at the front of the flat. View the listing here.
