Description
No 1 Croydon, also nicknamed the 50p building, or the 'wedding cake' was built by the legendary Richard Seifert in 1970. To me this looks like a lego building, a jigsaw puzzle with pieces locking together in place. Love it or hate it- this one cannot be missed, especially every time you whizz through Croydon on the overground. It occupies a busy roundabout that links the centre of Croydon with the suburbs. The influence of Le Corbusier evident. Each floor’s elongated octagon has a letterbox window on the exposed ends, every one sticking out like a mini Falling Water, rejoicing in the dramatic effect of its cantilever. ‘Croydon makes sense as a town to be approached by jetpack, where paranoid androids hum early Human League songs in the underpasses and flying saucers land on top of shopping centres…‘ - John Grindrod, author of Concretopia Print sold unframed.
Our Stylist Says
This one croydon print is a great addition for anyone wanting to inject some urban character into their space. I love how its bold colours and graphic style make it a statement piece, especially in contemporary or eclectic interiors. It works well in living rooms, home offices, or hallways where you want to create an energetic focal point. For styling, consider pairing it with minimalist furniture and neutrals to let the print really pop, or complement with other London-themed accessories for a cohesive city-inspired look. Framing it in a clean white frame, as shown, keeps the focus on the artwork and suits a variety of schemes. It’s a versatile piece that adds personality and a sense of place.
