2 Willow Road in London, England, is a modernist home designed by architect Ernő Goldfinger in 1939. Now managed by the National Trust, this house-museum offers visitors a glimpse into mid-20th century design and the life of the Goldfinger family. The building's stark exterior contrasts with its carefully curated interior, showcasing a collection of modern art and custom-designed furniture. Many visitors appreciate the guided tours, which provide insights into the architectural features and the family's history. The small size of the house means tours are intimate, but some find this limiting. While architecture enthusiasts and design lovers often find the experience rewarding, others may feel the appeal is somewhat niche. The location in Hampstead adds to its charm, though some visitors note that the museum's content might not engage those less interested in modernist architecture or 20th-century design. Overall, 2 Willow Road offers an interesting perspective on modernist living, but its specialized focus may not appeal to all visitors.
