Protection and Progress – Modern Heritage in London’s Square Mile

Join Purcell's Jon Wright and David Hills as they explore the contentious battlegrounds for the protection of architecture from the recent past, and how progress and care operate side by side.

The walking tour of London’s Square Mile will begin at Bank Station and end at Liverpool Street, and chart the shifting fortunes of Post-War buildings in one of the most dynamic and rapidly changing urban centres in the world.

** Ticket donations will go to Purcell's 2021 charity: 'Action on Empty Homes', a charity dedicated to bringing empty homes across the UK into use for people in housing need.
