A block of flats, built in the 1935-1937s on the line of the Addison Road - Hammersmith railway. Has its own squash club.
The Grampians was the first part of a proposed string of blocks of flats along a disused railway line. Designed by Maurice Webb, it is a very good example of a 1930s block of flats, combining the Art Deco character of the entrance forecourt with the starker Modernist character of the rest of the development. Built principally intended to provide affordable rented housing for lower-middle class professionals, it is a highly characteristic interwar development, and among the finest blocks of this kind.

The design for the block was exhibited at the 1935 Royal Academy.
