Langham House Close, Ham Common, Richmond, Surrey; Stirling and Gowan, 1957-58, Grade II*

These post-war apartment buildings are exceptional both internally and externally and display an honesty in their use of shuttered concrete and brick. The upgrading to II* now acknowledges this and will protect the building from piecemeal alterations.

The Rayners Public House, Imperial Drive, Harrow, London; architect unknown, c1934, Grade II

Formerly a hotel and built for the Truman’s Brewery, this brick building features neo-Georgian and deco fittings, including a panelled bar and fire places. Listed as a very complete and architecturally successful pub.

Matthiae Café, 82-84 Kew Road, Richmond, Surrey; architect unknown, 1936, Grade II

The rare surviving shop with exciting Art Deco façade decoration and intact interior with all fixtures and fittings still in place is now listed. English heritage has now also put this building on their Greater London Buildings at Risk Register.

Eveline Lowe School, Marlborough Grove, Southwark, London; David and Mary Medd for the Development Group of the Department of Education and Science, with ILEA, 1963-7, Grade II

Listed as an example of a non-traditional layout and a rare richness in fittings. Eveline Lowe also served as a model for a number of later schools and is considered to be pioneering and the best survivor of schools by D.E.S.
