Let's face it, there's nothing quite like the daddy of Brutalism. Trellick is having a bit of TLC right now (funnily enough so is Balfron - well more than just a bit in it's case) - but it stil takes my breath away.

“Building at risk list”plans to knock down neighbouring buildings and to extensively alter the tower’s immediate surroundings which will include building a 16 tower block at an immediate right angle to the tower.The plan will also destroy a graffiti park which has been there 40 years which is known as “The Trellick Hall of Fame” and a basket ball court. There is a petition to fight this !! Trellick Tower is a London icon appearing on T-shirts,adverts,films & song by Blur.Personally I love sitting there in the middle of London on a piece of ground with patchy grass surrounded by continuously changing artwork,some by well known artists a short walk via Golborne Road to Portabello Market & Notting hill.

Rumours were it was open for London Open House weekend- unfortunately not. Still I had a nice walk along the canal to get there and a good browse in Golborne road.
Not really gutters; more like water spouts.
These concrete spouts project out from the walls of Trellick Tower, the brutalist apartment block in Kensal Green which was designed by Ernő Goldfinger and opened in 1972.
The tall, narrow windows set into groups of three (or sometimes five) are a Goldfinger signature, seen also on his similar tower blocks Balfron Tower, Carradale House and Glenkerry House in Poplar.
A Trellick community celebration to mark 50 years of the iconic tower block took place on 9.07.22. Trellick Tower is a Grade II* listed tower block on the Cheltenham Estate in Kensal Green, London. Opened in 1972, it had been commissioned by the Greater London Council and designed in the Brutalist style by architect Ern? Goldfinger. Live Graffiti took place, with some of the best artists around on hand to share their skills and create a stunning Trellick Hall of Fame piece for the day.

Looking at the Wikipedia page about this tower block, it was designed by someone called Goldfinger! Clearly he should have stuck to trying to break into Fort Knox and killing James Bond rather than designing habitable places for people to live...

From a balcony on one of the upper floors of the Trellick Tower - I was one of the lucky ones who actually got in when it was open to the public as part of Open House a couple of years ago.

Golborne Road (L)
More TALs have been introduced as extra buses for route 23. Withdrawn Stagecoach London buses, TAL33200-33209 have been fitted with old displays from previous ALX400s that used to be in service for routes 7, 10, 23 and 27 when they were all with First London, explaining the 'Ladbroke Grove & Westbourne Park Station' displays on a few of the buses.
