Wandsworth: Inside extraordinary home of Kenyan poet

Available for over a year

Over several decades the Kenyan poet and former civil servant Khadambi Asalache decorated the inside of his home almost entirely with decorative pine fretwork, a carefully arranged collection of textiles, and illustrations of African landscapes. Following his death in 2006, he left 575 Wandsworth Road to the National Trust, which opened the house as a museum. For Âé¶¹Éç Radio London, Marcia Veiga takes a tour of one of South London's most extraordinary residences.
