Du Cane Court
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Du Cane Court is an Art Deco apartment block on Balham High Road, Balham, south London. A distinctive local landmark, it was opened in 1937 and is the largest privately owned apartment block in Europe.[citation needed] It is so distinctive (at least from a great height in the air) that it was reputedly used as a navigational landmark by German pilots bombing London during the Second World War.[citation needed]
