Glenkerry House
Ernő Goldfinger
Poplar, London
1972-5

Glenkerry forms part of a triptych of towers on Poplar’s Brownfield Estate, begun with the 27-storey Balfron Tower in the mid-1960s and followed by the adjacent 11-storey Carradale House. All have now been categorised as Grade II listed buildings as indeed has their immediate environs. After a brief detour to build the celebrated Trellick Tower in North Kensington, Goldfinger’s studio returned to complete Glenkerry House in the late 1970s, but with the GLC having learned all the lessons of earlier high-rise building.

Listed: Grade II
