This very stylish block on my street is called San Diego, but it’s quite obscured by some #damntrees.
It’s clearly 1930s Art Deco, with a bit of Bauhaus influence, all those stepped volumes with corner steel framed windows, and little sticking out balconies. That’s about all I know, except that the flats have been built in two stacks in front and to the side of an earlier house (which is now two flats facing only the rear). New 30s ones are very nice, I do like a sunroom !
Update : thanks to info from the Art Deco & Modernism Society, it’s WHMerritt, 1936. And seems there’s a plaque near the door with that info, so I’ve now got a photo of it. 
New photos 2025 – one tree removed from the side, other trees now bigger. The fence is good too – the lower part is original and unpainted, the ironwork is 1990s and in style.
