The Pullens estate in Walworth. Victorian Tenements built in the 1880s, with 2-storey workshops for artisans built in mews-like courtyards behind the 4-storey terraces.
The pattern has a distinctly Georgian feel to it, though its much tighter of course. From the air, the intricate, dense, mixed-use structure is clearly apparent as an urban typology, making everything built since look dumb and wasteful.
