Designed by the well-known architect Eric Lyons (1912-80) and built in 1951 for the developer Geoffrey Townsend. Identified in Pevsner as a notable building and described as ‘arranged as three because the flats replaced three war-damaged houses and the War Damage Commission required reinstatement. The main stacks of windows arranged with in a projecting concrete frame. Elegant Festival of Britain-style porches’.

Lyons worked for Walter Gropius and Maxwell Fry, joining the Span estates development company in 1948 which built 73 housing estates in the UK – several of Lyon’s estates are now Grade II listed buildings. Romney Court is a highly significant early work of his.
