Trellick tower's been calling

Trellick Tower in North Kensington, London: a work of art or just another ugly block of flats?

This famous tower was built by brutalist architect Erno Goldfinger. The building is now a Grade 2 listed building and features in the lyrics of "Best Days" by Blur. The wikipedia page about the tower is quite amusing and includes a story about a pirate radio station who managed to install a transmitter in the tower.
