About This Site

Balfron Social Club was founded in December 2014 to examine the ‘regeneration’ & social cleansing of Ernö Goldfinger’s brutalist Balfron Tower in Poplar, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.

Balfron Social Club is fighting to retain 50% social housing after refurbishment, Poplar Harca propose 0%.
