The Architecture of Power

Have you ever wondered why buildings housing important functions look like they do? Are you impressed by them, even overawed? If so why? This walk will look around Whitehall, the heart of government for nearly a 1,000 years. We will see examples of buildings: * From all eras, mediaeval to the current day. * Built for kings & queens, the Navy, the professions, and of course for Parliament. We will look at how power has shaped these buildings and the environment around them. We will also enjoy some memorable sights along the way!
