Keeling House is a 16-storey block of flats, designed by Denys Lasdun and completed in 1955. It is a cluster of 4 blocks of maisonettes arranged around a central service tower. It was originally council housing but was closed in 1992 due to deterioration. It was designated a Grade II* listed building in 1993. In 1999 Tower Hamlets council sold it to private developers who renovated the property and reopened it in 2001.
