From what I have been able to discover online, this building at 290 Mare Street in Hackney Central was built in 1971. I only recently noticed that its concrete exterior has a brutalist aesthetic.

 

Until recently its ground floor was occupied by a bank but at the time of taking this shot it had become vacant.

 

--- UPDATE Dec 2022 ---

The ground floor has been converted to a Pizza Express restaurant.
