Join Owen Hatherly and John Boughton in this fascinating Panel Discussion on '100 years of Public Housing' at the Francis Crick Institute on Somers Town.

Somers Town/ St Pancras is a hidden gem of an area in which innovative social housing began, and each era can be found: from 1901 Wellesley House to the radical slum clearance of St Pancras Housing, to the ambition of the 1920s listed Ossuslton Estate, with its Viennese influence, to low-rise Oakshott Court by Peter Tabori representing the 'golden age' of Camden Council.

With Owen Hatherley, the Tribune's Culture Editor and John Boughton (Municipal Dreams: The Rise and Fall of Council Housing) facilitated by Professor of Cultural studies, Esther Leslie, this is an unmissable event if you are interested in culture, architecture and history of a unique area of London - and the future of social housing.

We will also be launching our publication on '100 years of Public Housing - Somers Town'.
