2 Willow Road is the middle house of a terrace of three in Hampstead which was designed by architect Ernő Goldfinger, a key member of the Modernist movement, for himself and his family. It was completed in 1939 and they lived there until his death in 1987. It is now in the custody of the National Trust and is open to the public.

Robert Rimell is a retired architect and was born in Cheltenham in 1951. After spending most of his working life in Greater London, he returned to Cheltenham in 2015 in order to re-engage with the town that he loves. Rob is a former trustee of The Friends of The Wilson and has been a volunteer Tour Guide at Willow Road for about 10 years.
