The “Brutalist London Map” gives an overview of 50 of these concrete giants, including the Trellick Tower, the Barbican and the National Theatre. The map invites us to take a tour of the British capital’s brutalist beauties. It was compiled by conservator Henrietta Billings. She accompanies us on a city walk to meet residents, passers-by and Brutalism fans – and hear their views on this unique architectural style.
