The Alexandra Road Estate, in Camden, London, was the first post-war council housing estate to be granted listed status and is now considered a landmark of British social housing. So much so that, in October 2017, the architect Neave Brown won the Royal Gold Medal of the Royal Institute of British Architects for his work on the estate, which has served as a backdrop to the TV shows Spooks and Silent Witness and the films 28 Weeks Later and Kingsman: The Secret Service.

About the Publisher
Café Royal Books (founded 2005) is an independent publisher based in Southport, England. Originally set up as a way to disseminate art, in multiple, affordable, quick, and international ways, while not relying on ‘the gallery’. Café Royal Books publishes artists’ books and zines as well as a weekly series of photobook/zines. The photographic publications are part of a long ongoing series, generally working with photographers and their archives, to publish work, which usually falls into the 1970–2000 UK documentary/reportage.
