Alexander Road Estate

Some pictures of the Alexander Road Estate, Camden, North London (I hope to do a further post later after some research). Completed in 1978 by Neave brown of Camden council's architecture department. Given grade two* listed status by English heritage. Part of the 'streets in the sky' movement, all cars are out of sight and pedestrians take priority.
