An Icon Of Modernism
Sensitively Restored 1, 2 + 3 Bed Apartments
Launching Saturday 22nd & 23rd July
The new apartments have been sensitively reconfigured for open-plan living, allowing more natural light into the flats by bringing the kitchen into the main living area, separated by the counter and high-level units, the feeling of space is maximised throughout the apartment, often allowing views right from the front door to the city skyline beyond.

Wherever possible, materials have been sourced to match those specified by Goldfinger, while still retaining contemporary standards of efficiency, function and purpose.
From the new cookery room and interconnecting dining room for residents to hold private functions, to the library, a gymnasium and yoga room, these facilities make the most of these spaces set within the fabric of the original concrete service tower. The building will be crowned by a rooftop garden; a refined and secluded al fresco space for residents’ events and dining, enlivened with planting and contemporary furniture.

Canary Wharf to Heathrow central will take just 40 minutes once Crossrail opens, while the same train will whisk you to Bond Street in 13 minutes. Stratford is just as close, while the city of London and the west end both benefit from a new found proximity. As well as being integrated into the capital’s network of cycle superhighways, poplar also has excellent connectivity to London city airport, providing quick and easy access to over 30 major European cities.

Ernö Goldfinger was approached by the London County Council to draw up the scheme, having become known for his exploration of ideal high-rise plans for London during the war. These in turn had been inspired by his studies in Paris and the work of Le Corbusier and Auguste Perret.

Goldfinger was careful to emphasise the importance of ‘community life.’ Together with his wife Ursula, the couple had a well-publicised stay in the Tower after construction, living high up in apartment 130 for eight weeks and conducting what we would now call ‘focus groups’. The Tower became a significant local landmark. Now, half a century after its construction, Balfron Tower has a new lease of life thanks to a full restoration and refurbishment to bring it up to exacting modern standards.
