Simon Pollock: I Love Suburbia

Overview

For over 100 years Ealing has been known as ‘the Queen of the Suburbs’. In this illustrated talk Simon brings to life the joys of living outside Zone 1 uncovering some of the capital’s overlooked treasures as he tells the stories behind magnificent buildings both in Ealing and other London suburbs, from the Hoover Factory on the A40, to the Mosaic House in Chiswick, the Ovaltine Factory in Kings Langley to stations that wouldn’t be out of place in Miami Beach. Discover the pioneer interwar architects who brought modernism to Britain and delight in the elegance of Art Deco buildings given a new lease of life.

About Simon Pollock

Simon Pollock started @LondonSuburbia in 2022 as a way of telling the overlooked stories of the people and buildings of suburbia. This is his first book.
