Pullens Buildings are some of the most important and last-remaining Victorian tenement buildings in London. The Estate was built by James Pullen, a local builder who acquired the land and developed it over a 15-year period from 1886. Now designated a conservation area, the buildings are characterised by elegant London-stock brick facades set with decorative bands of nail-head decoration in moulded brick around the doorways. At the rear of the residential buildings are wonderful cobbled mews with two-storey workshops and there is an estate garden. The estate also originally included a small number of shops, mostly located at the entrances to the yards.
