Join us for an West London extravaganza as we explore the iconic Trellick Tower and delve into the world of brutalist architecture. Our guest, Sam Gerson, is not only Ben's school friend but also his former housemate of 8 years. We discuss the history, significance, and unique features of Trellick Tower, a symbol of brutalist design that has left a lasting mark on London's skyline.

Sam also takes us on a journey to another remarkable alternative landmark: Paddington Station. This is an episode for the architecture lovers as we chat about the station's rich history, architectural beauty, and its connection to transportation and literature. We hope you enjoy!
