A unique opportunity to visit a striking house with arguably the best view in London. Facing the Royal Naval College Buildings and an ever-changing river view of passing boats, open sky,  Greenwich Park beyond.  

The project was conceived by Dr Michael and Jenny Barraclough, and designed by Stout and Litchfield in the 1970s, as the starting point for a self-build community on the Isle of Dogs.

Originally envisaged a development of up to 44 homes on the plot, only four homes – three houses and a flat – were built. These are now listed, as is other work by Stout and Litchfield. The Barraclough family went on to make a very active contribution to the local community including the development of Mudchute farm.  

Meet at the exit from the Brunnel Foot Tunnel at 9.45 on Island Gardens.
