Hampstead's newest attraction is 2 Willow Road , a modernist, red-brick terraced house built in the 1930s by the Hungarian-born architect Erno Goldfinger. When Goldfinger moved in, this was a state-of-the-art pad, and as he changed little in the house in the following sixty years, what

you see is a 1930s avant-garde dwelling preserved in aspic, a house at once both modern and old-fashioned. An added bonus is that the rooms are packed with works of art by the likes of Max Ernst, Duchamp, Henry Moore and Man Ray. There are a limited number of tickets for the guided tours , so it's worth booking ahead. Incidentally, James Bond's adversary is indeed named after Erno - Ian Fleming lived close by and had a deep personal dislike of both Goldfinger and his modernist abode.
