George Finch (architect)

George Finch was a British architect. He was a committed socialist who believed architecture had the power to transform the lives of postwar Londoners. Finchs ideals drove his passion for designing social housing, civic and environmental buildings for everyday people built to the highest building standards.

Finch was born in Tottenham, the son of a milkman. During WWII, he and his sister, Shirley, were evacuated to Saffron Walden, Essex, where he attended Newport Free Grammar School. Finch then studied architecture, at North London Polytechnic , moving in 1950 to the Architectural Association School of Architecture. He graduated in 1955 from a year that included Neave Brown, Kenneth Frampton, Patrick Hodgkinson, William Gillitt and Roy Stout.
