About this Event

Dominated by the frenzy of nearby Westminster, Victoria is a district rich with history and unique architectural traditions, yet rarely does it make it into the pages of most London guides. Once a notorious outlying marsh at the city's fringe, it boomed in the 19th century with monuments to Victorian London's thursting modernity, then in the 20th century it tore itself to pieces seeking to relaunch and rebrand for a new era. In this walk, The London Ambler looks beyond the postcard moments of Abbey and Parliament, to reveal a diverse urban landscape of byzantine and neo-classical towers, Italianate town houses, multi-leveled tenements, mansion blocks and modernist townscapes.
