The government of the City of London is older than parliament itself and its Guildhall is a rival to the Palace of Westminster. This makes the Lord Mayor a King in his own palace; but how has this been expressed in architecture?
This lecture looks at the architectural patronage of the City’s Lord Mayors from earliest time to the present.
This is a free public lecture by Simon Thurley, Visiting Gresham Professor of the Built Environment.
There is no need to book in advance for this lecture. It runs on a first come first served basis.
