South End Green's artistic heritage

South End Green has long been famous as a home for artists , writers and others committed to the creative process. The Isokon building on nearby Lawn Road was a home for painter and writer Adrian Stokes, the Bauhaus architect Walter Gropius, and the Constructivist sculptors László Moholy-Nagy and Naum Gabo. And Henry Moore lived at no. 11A Parkhill Road from 1929 to 1940.

Thankfully, this artistic heritage lives on. Although the Ingrid Barron Gallery has recently become a vets, local artists continue to contribute to the cultural scene of this calm oasis hidden from the hustle, bustle and problems of the capital.
