English: Southwyck House, Brixton. This block of flats is on Coldharbour Lane SW9, very near Brixton town centre. It is known locally as the Barrier Block and it has had an interesting history. Click here http://www.urban75.org/brixton/features/barrier.html for an excellent website that tells more. The reason why the block was built to look like that was to deflect traffic noise from a proposed multi lane highway that was never built.
