A WALK IN THE CITY OF LONDON

Alex Forshaw, architectural historian and author, will lead another of his popular walks. This time it will encompass a group of remarkable buildings in the north-east part of the City of London, which are the subject of on-going conservation battles for protection. They include Bevis Marks Synagogue, the oldest surviving in Britain; Holland House in Bury Street, an extraordinary Art Nouveau building from 1916 with interiors by Henri Van de Velde; St Catherine Cree, one of the few City churches to have survived both the Great Fire and Second World War bombing; Victorian warehouses on Creechurch Lane, Sugar Baker’s Court and Mitre Street; and Roman and medieval remains. We end at Aldgate Station.
