The Council House

Council housing is as much a part of London as Big Ben or Buckingham Palace. Once a source of pride in the 1950s and ‘60s, the disaster of the Right to Buy scheme and Britain's ever-growing housing crisis has seen council houses fall into disrepair and disrepute. Writer and photographer Jack Young spent two years visiting every corner of London to find the city's most unique structures. The result is a book which features beautiful images, personal interviews and design insights that celebrate vital urban buildings.
