The Balfron Tower – East London, UK
Situated in East London’s Poplar district, Ernö Goldfinger of Hungarian architecture fame designed this New Brutalist horror in 1963. This was a movement that was incredibly popular throughout Europe at the beginning of the 50s and enjoyed a revival halfway through the 70s. It might look like something out of a dystopian science-fiction film, but the local municipality venerated this building as a Grade II landmark. It is made up of 27 stories and is surrounded by similarly depressing apartment blocks.
