About this Event
Be it ever so humble there's no place like home
Join Ellika, qualified Camden Tour Guide as she explores the streets covering the foothils of Hampstead Heath and the often groundbreaking styles of domestic architecture that can be found there. Learn how the architecture influenced the lives of the residents and how the residents impacted the architecture
Visit the Iconic Isokon , the first modernist block of flats in Britain which pioneered the concept of minimalist stylish city living. Hear more about the lives of residents such as Agatha Christie, Walter Gropius and Soviet Spy Arnold Deutsch
The modernist theme continues as we explore the Fleet Road Estate - the first estate in Neave Brown's ambitious social housing building programme during Camden Council's golden age. The humanist approach to town drew international acclaim but lost favour in 1970s Britain - make your own mind up as to what you think about it.
Dive back in history to the Gerogian workers' cottages and cobbles of the charming Little Green St - find out why the cottages have such long gardens and perhaps recognise it from a 1960s pop video
Explore the eye-catching terraces of houses painted in their co-ordinating pastel shades - discover where the trend began and how the colours are decided ...oh and make sure you take a few photos for the instagram!
