Illustration by Andrew Cadey

Constructed in phases between 1961 and 1980 to a plan by Darbourne & Darke, Lillington Gardens stretches the considerable length of Vauxhall Bridge Road and is perhaps the last of the high-density public housing schemes built in London during the post-war period.

Unlike the rational post second world war town planning of slab blocks set in landscaped open spaces at Churchill Gardens, Lillington Gardens Estate in contrast attempts to reintroduce human scale, variety, natural materials and urban spaces. The design uses brick and multiplies it into advancing and receding balconies, whilst a myriad of intriguingly interlocking flat and maisonette plans are set along ‘roof streets’ with planted gardens.

Limited first edition print run of 75
