Clerkenwell: Inspired Interventions

Clerkenwell is one of London’s most multi-layered neighbourhoods. From its medieval, monastic origins to its recent emergence as a hub for creative and design professions, it has a vibrant and fascinating story.

Walking from our meeting point at Barbican Station, we discover historic Charterhouse Square. From there, we trace a path through Clerkenwell Green. We see recent residential projects by contemporary architects such as David Adjaye, Steven Holl and Amin Taha and we review the proposed urban transformations of Smithfield Market.

Belsize Park: Modern Approaches to Housing

Housing is the most significant built form in cities. On this walk, we see how architects and planners over the ages have experimented with this building type, often challenging the established norms.

Nine Elms and Battersea: Big, Bold and Brand New

It has been hailed as Europe’s largest urban regeneration project. Like it or loathe it, the transformation of Vauxhall, Nine Elms and Battersea includes plenty of iconic architecture and urban planning. As building work continues, this is an ideal time to take a critical look at key developments in this area.

The Westminster of Edwin Lutyens

Sir Edwin Lutyens was arguably England's most admired and prolific architect of the early 20th Century. His work is best seen in detail so this walk in Whitehall and St James includes several of his finest London buildings. We see Lutyens designs in their urban context as the route takes us through some of the most historic and elegant streets in London.
