The Lawn Road Flats : spies, writers and artists
Burke, David (Historian of intelligence and international relations)2014
Book
The Isokon building, Lawn Road Flats, in Belsize Park on Hampstead's lower slopes, is a remarkable building. The first modernist building in Britain to use reinforced concrete and architecture, its construction demanded new building techniques. But the building was as remarkable for those who took up residence there as for the application of revolutionary building techniques. This title tells the story of a modernist building with a significant place in the history of Soviet espionage in Britain.
