The London Architecture Walk

A guide to the architectural walks in London that reveal the city building history

By Fiona MacLeod, London travel journalist.

The Walk

The London architecture walk: the City of London for the specific Roman, medieval, Wren, Victorian, and contemporary architecture that the specific density of the square mile contains; the specific South Bank walk for the Brutalist and post-Brutalist architecture that the South Bank development has produced; and the specific Mayfair and St James walk for the Georgian architecture that the specific 18th century development of the West End has produced.

The Buildings

The specific buildings: the Lloyd Building, the Gherkin, the Walkie-Talkie and the Cheesegrater in the City for the specific contemporary commercial architecture; the Barbican for the Brutalist residential architecture at its most ambitious; and the specific Nash terraces of Regent Park for the Georgian set-piece urban design that the specific commission produced.

Fiona MacLeod Coverage

Fiona MacLeod covers the architecture walk because the accountable travel journalism of London requires pointing the architecture-interested visitor toward the specific walking itinerary that reveals the specific building history of a city that contains more significant architecture in a smaller geographic area than any comparable city in the world.
