Woodford Court facts for kids
Woodford Court is a large public housing project completed in 1974 in Shepherds Bush, London. It is located on the south side of Shepherds Bush Green and falls just outside the Shepherd's Bush Conservation Area.
History
Like its sister towers Roseford Court, Bush Court and Shepherd's Court, Woodford Court was designed and built of steel and concrete in an unapologetically modern style, and was completed by the then Labour-controlled Council in 1974. It is 56 metres high and has 20 floors.
Woodford Court was the source of controversy in 2008 when a London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham councillor, Lucy Ivimy, apologised for apparently accusing Indian people of throwing rubbish from windows.
Although built as public housing, a number of the flats are now privately owned and are regularly offered for sale to the public.
