Keeling House is one of the most distinctive silhouettes on the London skyline. Designed by the legendary Denys Lasdun (architect of the National Theatre) and completed in 1957, it was a radical experiment in social housing. Lasdun rejected the standard "slab" blocks of the era, instead creating a unique "Cluster Block" design—four wings arranged around a central service tower—intended to recreate the neighbourly feel of a Victorian street in the sky.

After narrowly escaping demolition in the 1990s, it was saved, Grade II listed*, and transformed by Munkenbeck + Marshall into a shining example of how Brutalist heritage can be reborn.

With its soaring white concrete wings and "scissored" maisonettes, it is now a beloved icon of the East End. This collection celebrates the genius of Lasdun’s geometry and the endurance of London’s modernist heritage.
