The present building was built between 1932 and 1936 to designs by William Crabtree, and is the first modern-manner use of the glass curtain wall in Britain. The tour will include the history of the building with emphasis on 25 Cadogan Gardens, the former home and studio of Australian watercolourist, Mortimer Menpes, designed by Arthur Heygate Mackmurdo. Following the tour, a full afternoon tea will be served in the Top Floor Restaurant.
