Rowley Way ( Alexandra Estates ) - Exterior/Walkway

The expansive site of Alexandra Road Estate near South Hampstead tube station lies between the railway line into Euston to the North and the brick blocks of the Ainsworth estate to the south. The key elements of site are two parallel pedestrian streets separated by a park, formed by two rows of terraces against the railway, and the other by a further row of terraces forming a street with the existing Ainsworth Estate. Neave Brown proved with Alexandra Road that low-rise housing could be delivered in the heart of a city at the density of a tower block but with the quality of public space that high-rise seldom attains.
