Two cul-de-sacs on the edge of Hampstead Garden Suburb featuring houses by Patrick Gwynne. Most well known for his own house, The Homewood in Esher, Gwynne designed a number of private houses in the suburbs around London and the Home Counties in the post-war years. These houses in Barnet show typical Gwynne characteristics: plans that take full advantage of their sites, well-sculpted landscapes and interiors featuring ingenious furniture and fittings. Spaniard’s End also features Heathbrow, by H. C. Higgins, with its blank brick facade, praised by Ian Nairn in 1964 as ‘one of the most powerful new buildings in London’.
