  • (Master ACM building list) Warwick Estate, Block 1
  • (Social sector ACM) Tower Blocks UK block L1118, Paddington Metropolitan Borough Council, postcode match exact. ACM: Westminster committee report, ‘The tower blocks at Little Venice on the Warwick and Brindley estates have cladding similar to that at Grenfell Tower’
  • Workbook source(s): Master ACM building list (row 51); Social sector ACM (row 22)

Additional corroboration (Practices tab)

  • L. Hunter - ORIGINAL design architect - an LCC architect
    Basis: Tower Blocks UK, three development records, all matched on block name and postcode. Princethorpe and Wilmcote added 17/09/2026. On all three records the ORIGINAL COMMISSIONING AUTHORITY is the LONDON COUNTY COUNCIL and the location authority Paddington MBC, so Hunter was an LCC architect rather than Paddington borough architect. The sixth tower, Brinklow House, has a blank architect field and was commissioned by the GLC in 1966 - same block type and same contractor, different client body, so the attribution is NOT extended to it
