Motcombe Court is a Moderne style white-rendered block of flats designed by the architect Henry Tanner F.R.I.B.A. in 1938. Tanner was one of the most celebrated architects of the pre-war period. He held the post of President of the Architectural Association and completed some of the most important commissions of the time in London including the Dickens & Jones Department Store, Strand Palace Hotel, Oceanic House for the White Star Line at Pall Mall and others. The Park Lane Hotel in London is perhaps Tanner’s best known work and is frequently described as one of the finest 1930s buildings in London. | Motcombe Court is a Moderne style white-rendered block of flats designed by the architect Henry Tanner F.R.I.B.A. in 1938.
