The City Model

The City model, produced by Pipers, is a unique way to study the history of London through the City's built environment. In addition to the historic street plan of the City and a number of heritage assets this 1:500 scale model of the city features all buildings that currently have planning permission which gives you a sneak peek at the City's future skyline.

The model is reopening for public viewing on Monday 17 May. On the first and third Friday of every month, there will be a free 20-minute introductory talk at 12.30pm. One of the knowledgeable team will introduce the 1:500 scale interactive model, revealing what it teaches about the history, present and future of the City of London.

Private model talks are available for groups of 8 or more and can be booked by contacting thecitycentre@cityoflondon.gov.uk or calling +44 (0)207 6008 362.

Please note: Face coverings are required upon entering the building and should be worn in all public areas.
