The Golden Lane Estate is perenially popular with architects and designers. It was built in the 1950s to a design by the newly formed practice Chamberlin, Powell & Bon. Great Arthur House is a striking yellow-clad 16-storey block at the centre of the development, and at the time was the highest block in London. Its design was heavily influenced by Le Corbusier. For more information about the architecture of the Golden Lane Estate, see the History section.
All residents on the estate enjoy the use of a swimming pool, as well as tennis and badminton courts, at preferential rates. There is a Waitrose supermarket close by, and the Barbican Arts Centre is also within walking distance. This area has a particularly good selection of restaurants, pubs and bars, and Smithfield Market is nearby. There are two Underground stations within very close proximity: Barbican (Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan Lines) and Old Street (Northern Line). Farringdon Underground (Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan Lines) and British Rail station is also within walking distance.
