Women-only tower block in Ealing - how will it work?
A new housing block in west London currently under construction will be a "UK first" in providing homes exclusively for women.
Brook House in Acton will provide a "lifeline" to women and survivors of domestic abuse struggling to find a home.
When completed, it will provide 102 "genuinely affordable" social rented flats, replacing an old 39-home estate with the cost of renting a home on average less than a quarter of an equivalently sized home in the private sector.
BBC Radio London's Jim Davis has the story.
