Brutalist homes for sale in London now — from the Barbican to the Trellick Tower

Brutalist homes for sale in London (ES)

Perhaps no building style has drawn more passionate detractors than Brutalism, a post-war architecture movement that produced some of London’s most recognisable landmarks — from social housing to the Hayward Gallery.

Before he acceded to the throne King Charles III was one such critic of modern architecture, but for every vocal opponent there’s a loyal fan who gets giddy over Denys Lasdun or dreams of a Barbican flat with all the modernist trimmings intact.
