I never really appreciated Tolworth Tower as I grew up and went to school in its shadow, nor as I worked there in my temping days, but the subconscious influence of these already period pieces in my childhood is a big part of who I am now. Delighted to find this late Sixties footage of an unspoilt tower, as #richardseifert intended, complete with original abstract mural and open piazza area. Of course they are currently in the process of ruining the integrity of the architecture even further, with cladding and even some more new towers. Sigh. #brutalism #modernism #brutalistarchitecture #tolworthtower #sixtiesarchitecture

Few buildings are known under so many names as this one — NLA Tower, No. 1 Croydon, the Wedding Cake Building, the 50p Building, the Threepenny bit building.. it's also the most popular print of mine and I send it to customer from places like New Zealand or Canada.
Can't miss it — 17-story Holiday Inn by Richard Seifert from 1967! The nearby 11-story Embassy Court (not in the picture), which was criticized in the 1930s for its scale, suddenly looks tiny and sensible in comparison ⚖️ .
Croydon strangeness.
You rarely find a building with more nicknames than the '50p building' aka 'Weddingcake' aka 'Threepenny bit' aka 'NLA tower' aka 'No. 1 Croydon'. Probably Richard Seifert's best piece!
