Knoll Court is part of the Dulwich Wood Park Estate, a mid-century development by architects Austin Vernon and Partners for the Dulwich Estate. The development overall is notable for its generous exterior communal spaces.

Knoll Court was the first block of Dulwich Wood Estate apartments to be built and is one of the most sought-after. It is distinguished by its colourful exterior tiling and panelling. A tile mural by Reginald Brill is a feature of the ground floor entrance lobby.
