Carradale House is
one of three residential buildings designed by
Erno Goldfinger in Poplar, East London. It
is part of the Brownfield Estate.
Goldfinger's Balfron Tower, Carradale House and
Glenkerry House sit in a cluster on either side
of St Leonard’s Road close to the entrance to
the Blackwall Tunnel. In December of 2000,
Carradale House was given Grade II Listed status
by English Heritage.
In the image at the top of the page you can see
the Balfron Tower rising behind Carradale
House. Like the Balfron, Carradale
features a separate service tower and sky
bridges. It contains 88 flats and has a
large underground car park.
I gather that while the Balfron and Carradale
were being built they were known as “Rowlett
Street Phase I and Phase II but later they were
given names of Scottish villages. Why
Scotland I don’t know.
Note: Carradale House
doesn't curve - this is a trick of the camera.
