Modernist Hampstead

I am a qualified City of London Guide and  a member of the City of London Guides Lecturers AssociationFormerly the Curator ofHampstead Museum, Burgh House, I have been creating and delivering walks in the Hampstead area for some 20 years.I love discovering interesting nuggets of London history and am fascinated in how places develop and change as well as archaeology and what lies beneath the ground. I am especially interested in the effect of the Blitz on London, artists and their connections with places and the stories of individual buildings.As well as guiding in the City and Hampstead / North London area, I also guide for theCity Lit; the National Trust's 2 Willow Road; and can give tours at the Victoria and Albert Museum, British Museum and National Gallery. I was also a  London Transport Museum’sHidden Londonguide. I also run heritage workshopsAttendance on any walk can only be guaranteed through pre-booking.  If you cannot pre-book here but wish to attend, you are welcome to do so, but youmustplease give me prior notice of your intention to attend.

Marilyn Greene, Footprints of London

Discover the revolutionary Modernist homes and idealistic architecture built in Hampstead in the 1930s such as The Sun House by Maxwell Fry, and 66 Frognal by Connel Ward and Lucus which caused quite a controversy with the neighbours.  Much of the architecture echoed design trends in Europe but elements of eighteenth-century architectural design were also an influence for some architects. We also remember some of London’s rivers that are beneath the buildings and what they may have replaced.
Passing some more recent examples, and of course striking non modernist Hampstead buildings, this walk will finish at the iconic and idealistic Isokon flats in Belsize Park. This walk is from Hampstead Tube (outside High Street entrance) to Belsize Park.
