"Architecture. Ugly Buildings. This hideous example of the new style of building that is blotting London's skyline can be seen in Queensway, Baywater. Consort House is not one of Her Majesty's new prisons, but in fact a block of luxury apartments". This intriguing print from July 1970 captures an era when architecture was undergoing a radical transformation, often resulting in controversial and divisive designs. The image showcases Consort House, an architectural marvel that evokes mixed emotions among onlookers. Located in the vibrant neighborhood of Queensway, Baywater, this towering structure stands as a testament to the evolving tastes and preferences within society during the 1970s. While some may argue that it represents progress and innovation, others find its unconventional design unappealing. Despite its initial reception as an eyesore on London's skyline, Consort House defies expectations by revealing its true purpose – luxury apartments rather than Her Majesty's prisons. This unexpected revelation challenges preconceived notions about urban development and highlights the diversity found within architectural styles. As we reflect upon this photograph today, it serves as a reminder of how our perceptions change over time. What was once considered ugly or displeasing might eventually become appreciated for its uniqueness and historical significance. Whether you admire or criticize Consort House's design choices, there is no denying its impact on shaping London's ever-evolving cityscape during the 1970s.
