In the 1930s, with Thomas Cubitt long gone, two-thirds of the vast Thames Bank site was used to build Dolphin Square, another project conceived on a grand scale following the Cubitt tradition. This “high class” modern residential complex, complete with shops and other facilities, was at the time the largest block of flats in Europe: 1,310 apartments for around 3,000 people (photograph by Matt S from London, uploaded to Wikimedia by France3470 , licensed for reuse under Creative Commons).
