Born in 1902 Erno Goldfinger was a visionary Hungarian architect who moved to London in 1934. After the war he became central to the story of British Modernism through his role creating new homes for London’s post war communities.

Balfron Tower in Poplar, commissioned in 1963 and completed by 1967 for the GLC, was designed around the utopian ideas of Streets in the Sky, it is now a Grade II listed building and one of the era’s best examples of modernist utopian residential design.
