EDGELANDS – Architecture at The City’s Limits ‘Part Two’

Around the fringe of every city lies an Edgeland. Neither town or country these fertile hinterlands are made up of two different natures. Skirting the ancient borders of the City of London, this TWO PART walk explores the liminal buildings, streets and spaces that have grown up in the shadow of the financial heart. Following a route defined first by the Romans two millennia ago, it looks at the ‘City Fringe’ between Finsbury Square, Smithfield and Holborn Bars to reveal modernist utopias, medieval sanctuaries, partial monasteries and markets!

PART ONE - Saturday 27 July
