Visit to Hampstead with Gillian Blatchford
Our Blue Badge Guide, Gillian, will take us for a walk (downhill) to discover and enjoy this part of London, which attracted so many artists, sculptors and writers in the 20s and 30s. Names such as Joshua Reynolds, George Rowney, Samuel Johnson, Fanny Burney, Keats and Constable, Henry Moore, Galsworthy, Aldous Huxley and D.H. Lawrence - are all associated with Hampstead at some time in their lives.

After lunch we will have a guided tour of 2 Willow Road, a totally modernist house, unique and surprising when it was buit in 1939 but, now, full of designs which have become familiar. The architect was Ernö Goldfinger. He built it for his family and it still contains his innovative furniture and his painting.

We will take the 9.35 train from Teddington to Richmond and then the Overground to Hampstead Heath. Costs: Gillian £8. Entrance to 2 Willow Road is free to National Trust members otherwise £5.50.

Booking for visits is essential. Call Angela Carvill on 8977 0167.
