Viceroy Close is a 6 storey inter war, inter-locking blocks of flats off Bristol Road in inner city Birmingham. Built in 1937 to a design by Mitchell and Bridgwater in conjunction with Gollins and Smeeton, it is considered to be the finest pre-World War II block of flats in Birmingham. The building consists of slender metal windows and light brown brick, giving it a light cheerful appearance to a large block. The clean detailing of the splayed brick bays gives the effect of a folded façade. The naive sculpture above the doorways is by O'Connor Barrett.

There are 14 blocks on Viceroy Close, all 6 storeys in height. They lie adjacent to the Belleview / Benmore Avenue Estates and form part of the Lee Bank (Attwood Green) clusters of tower blocks in South Birmingham. These are part of the large complex of towers within the Edgbaston District on the Southside of the city, which had 114 tower blocks constructed before waves of demolition at the turn of the Millennium.
