Abstract

This article examines the redevelopment of Euston Station forecourt as a speculative development of offices designed by the prolific post-war commercial architectural practice R. Seifert & Partners from c.1970 to 1979. The article offers a reading of the development as a piece of state-encouraged, public-sector led property development. It uncovers the encouragement given by Harold Wilson's Labour government to for-profit property developments on nationalized land and the simultaneous control of private sector office development by the same government. It reveals a consistent labourite vision of public sector property development.
