Join Open House for a socially-distanced walking tour exploring how public health challenges shaped London’s built environment through the ages
This insightful walking tour from Soho to Clerkenwell — led by writer and architectural designer Eleanor Marshall — chronicles the many public health crises throughout London’s history and reveals how bold reformers, architects and public bodies radically changed our urban environment in response.
The socially-distanced walk will explain how urban qualities we take for granted today — such as clean water, fresh air and natural light — came to be recognised as crucial to good living and working conditions and radically influenced the architecture of the city. The tour will also consider how today's pandemic could reshape our city once again.
