The name of the building comes from Holy Trinity Church,[2] designed by Sir James Pennethorne and erected in 1837.
After the church closed, the ground was sold in 1931,[3] and Trinity Court was built on the site a few years later.
Painted in white, with contrasting balconies and windows frames decorated in bleu celeste colour,[4] the building featured in the 1986 London-based film Mona Lisa starring Bob Hoskins.,[5] and also in the 2016 film City of Tiny Lights, with Riz Ahmed, Cush Jumbo and Billie Piper.
Both films feature a character who is a high class sex worker, living in Trinity Court.
Despite its modernist and imposing Art Deco style, it does not appear on Historic England's documentation of Listed buildings.
