Two modern classics from London brought us into hour five. First, we visited the primary coloured facades of the Golden Lane Estate, completed in 1962, whose Great Arthur House was once the tallest residential building in London. Next, we headed to the neighbouring Barbican Estate, one of the architectural icons of the city with its rough concrete, labyrinthine raised walkways and communal facilities. Both projects were designed by architects Chamberlin, Powell and Bon and remain as some of the finest housing in London.
