THIS IS NOW! - The Architecture of the 21st Century City

Distance 2.5km/1.6miles

The Square Mile is London's contemporary architectural playground and a space of perpetual change. Amidst the unlikely framework of the capital's most ancient streets, a suite of ever more dazzling modern monuments to finance and global commerce reach up and out in a bewildering, awe inspiring and sometimes shocking mix of old and new. From fine-tuned brilliance, thumping mediocrity and questionable carbon guzzling, this walk explores the evolution of space, style and scale through The City's 21st century additions charting two decades of incredible transformation and ongoing argument.
