"2 Willow Road, Hampstead Heath. Erno Goldfinger designed this magnificent Modernist home for him and his family in 1939, which has been beautifully preserved along with his belongings, furniture - much of it designed by himself - and collection of modern art including pieces by Henry Moore, Max Ernst and Bridget Riley. Wonderful architectural details appear throughout like the paint colours chosen to highlight different materials, the beautiful spiral staircase and the wooden partition wall that can be folded away to create a large communal area for social occasions. Unlike us, writer and Hampstead resident Ian Fleming apparently wasn’t a fan and is said to have taken inspiration from Goldfinger’s surname for his James Bond villain."
