NOTES: This complex of arts buildings and housing covers seven acres in the City of London. Built between 1971 and 1982, it regenerated an area which had been badly bombed during World War II. Frobisher Crescent was designed as flats but later became offices for the arts centre. Cromwell Tower is one of the three residential towers and was completed in 1973. The complex was Grade II listed in 2001
