Described at the time as “a magnificent up to date building providing distinctive accommodation”, Du Cane Court Balham High Road, was built in 1937 and completed in just one year. Although the sales and rental information at the time stated that the development was ready for occupation from June 1936. With around 676 flats under one roof it is thought to be the largest private block in Europe and since then a number of additional apartments have been added to what were previously communal spaces such as the seventh-floor restaurant. If you were inspired by the V&A’s recent Art Deco exhibition, this is certainly the place to live. The block’s design is a classic of the genre, with vast pillars in its reception. Residents benefit from the services of a 24-hour security guard and reception, small communal gardens, a shop, as well as the prime location, two minutes from Balham Tube and rail station.
