Brunswick Centre

The original plan extended up to Euston Road but the Ministry of Defence would not release the site of a building they leased for use by the Territorial Army (and that still stands next to the Centre today).

[citation needed] After failing to attract sufficient private buyers on time, the residential section was leased to the London Borough of Camden for use as council housing, while the developer retained ownership of the structure and shopping areas.

In Hodgkinson's design, the blocks would have been painted cream,[8] a shade typical of the Georgian period, as a homage to the terraced houses that previously stood on the site and those that still surround it.

This included the painting of the blocks in their originally-planned colour and the commissioning of artist Susanna Heron to introduce water features to the central space.

The centre is regularly used as a location for films,[8] TV, photography and music videos including Alexei Sayle's Stuff, The Comic Strip, Crime Traveller, Gangster No.
