In May and June the Society ran a series of five Saturday morning talks in the Building Centre in central London.
The series was designed to give non-professionals an overview on the evolution of the capital's architecture, and we were fortunate to be able to call upon several knowledgable speakers: Alex Forshaw on medieval London; Dr Geoffrey Tyack on the Georgian city; Susie Barson on Victorian developments; Alan Powers on the city between the wars; and Chris Rogers on the contemporary city.
Each of the five talks had over 80 attendees, so it seems that we have tapped into something that is of great interest to both members and non-members and we're currently looking at future series - there will certainly be something this autumn and we will develop the architecture theme in 2018.
The illustrations used by each of the speakers can be found here. For future courses we will look to publishing the information in some form.
