Bevin Court is one of several modernist housing projects in London designed in the immediate postwar period by the Tecton architecture practice, led by Berthold Lubetkin. Following the dissolution of Tecton, the project was realised by Lubetkin, Francis Skinner and Douglas Carr Bailey. It was completed in 1954.

Post-war austerity had imposed far greater budgetary constraints than in Tecton’s nearby social housing showpiece Spa Green Estate, completed in 1949 (illustrated above), forcing Lubetkin to strip the project of the basic amenities he had planned. There were to be no balconies, community centre or nursery school.
