LONDON ARCHITECTURE WALKING TOUR

London's architecture resembles the design of an irregular and imbalanced mind. A walk along the river Thames shows buildings new and old jostling together like a baby's building blocks dropped at haphazard angles. See the jumble of architectural styles in London, all of which are touched on in this comprehensive walking tour.London's architecture resembles the design of an irregular and imbalanced mind. A walk along the river Thames shows buildings new and old jostling together like a baby's building blocks dropped at haphazard angles. There's a story behind this apparent lack of architectural harmony. It is the story of the great fire of 1666 - and of the Blitz of 1940. It is the story of disaster and catastrophe. Of catharsis and renewal. And it is also the story of ambition. For London is the most 'new world' of any European city, more akin to New York than it is to Rome or Paris. It is a place of business and commerce, a place that develops and redevelops at a frightening pace. London does not live in a state of preserved limbo, it lives, breathes and evolves at every step. Thus the jumble of architectural styles, all of which are touched on in this comprehensive walking tour.
