Sitting quietly amid the residential houses of Lansdowne Way, lies Stockwell Garage. The unassuming exterior houses an incredible 120m long roof structure, with reinforced arches spanning 60 metres and enough parking spaces for 200 buses.
It was designed by Adie, Button and Partners in 1962 and at the time was the largest unsupported roof span in Europe.
We wanted to take a moment to draw attention to a humble low-rise depot building, and celebrate the beauty of its giant barrel vaults enjoyed by the sleeping buses of London only.
