Abington House is a block of flats designed for housing ’working women’.
Abington House is a large Arts and Crafts two-storey block of flats set around a central ’village’ green.
Like the other local blocks around Emmott Close, it was designed in 1928 by Hendry and Schooling for the United Women’s Homes Association, an organisation formed to address the lack of accommodation for single working women.
Schemes for single women had already enjoyed support at the 1909-built Waterlow Court. The UWHA sponsored two further developments at Hampstead Garden Suburb, Queen’s Court and here at Emmott Close.
