The Ossulston Estate NW1
The area between Ossulston Street and Chalton Street is characterised by large-scale public housing complexes, together forming the Ossulston Estate Link
It was designed and built by the London County Council between 1927 and 1931 on the site of the Somers Town slum between St Pancras and Euston railway stations. It was unusual at the time both in its inner-city location, its modernist design, and the features provided for residents; all the original parts of the estate are now Grade II listed buildings.
