You might want to take a visit to the Clapham / Balham area of south-west London, which has got rather a fabulous range of art-deco blocks within a short distance of one another, and covering the whole range of decorative order. On Balham High Road there’s Du Cane Court, which at 625 flats was (or even still is) apparently the largest privately-owned block in Europe. Then near Clapham South station, on Nightingale Lane, you’ve got the beautifully well-kept (and no doubt very pricey) Hightrees House. And over the station itself, Westbury Court – another beautiful block that has, unfortunately, been rather let go into a state of disrepair (though its 120 flats are still lived in).

I’ll keep a look-out for you and the dog …
