George Finch, the LCC years
George Finch was the archetypal welfare state architect, designing council housing, schools, medical and leisure centres, theatres and playgrounds. His work in the late 1960s at the London Borough of Lambeth is relatively well known. This walk (and the guidebook here) put the spotlight on his earlier career at the London County Council. Book by Philip Boyle and Tom Cordell, walked August 2022.
