TV documentary on Nazi Germany

I had an interesting trip to Hornsey Town hall today as part of a TV documentary on Nazi women. The venue was chosen because of its remarkable 1930’s architecture, but while aspects of it are faintly redolent of the Third Reich, there is far more to this north London building. It’s tucked away in an underwhelming forecourt and at first glance it appears both neglected and ugly, yet as the first UK building to be constructed in the Modernist style (1933), its interior finishes, marble, wooden panelling and especially the lovely metalwork, are beautiful and inspiring. Well worth a look if you’re nearby.
