The Londown | 24 June| with Edwin Heathcote

They discuss a new competition looking to design a pedestrian-friendly Oxford Circus, the backlash over government planning reforms after shock by-election defeat, the late Charles Jencks’ Cosmic House which is to open as a museum this September, and how better pay could be the real way to boost architects' mental wellbeing.
