There are also literally thousands of these - the 30s was London's biggest ever house building spree, creating its suburbs - and not very notable either
Note how the houses on the rest of the street have gotten rid of the art deco features in favour of artficial, ruralised styles:

And quite a number of large apartment complexes for the upper classes you wouldn't really notice is art deco unless you go inside

Also a serious blight of these, mass housing for the poor:
If new, painted or restored they can look lovely
but in reality they're an instant marker to many Londoners of social deprivation (even when an ex council flat in such a building can sell at $1.5 million)
