London Architecture Series: London at 200

As London marks its bicentennial, London at 200 reflects the city’s evolution through the lens of its built environment.

Presented by Kyle Gonyou, Manager of Heritage and Urban Design at City of London, this talk explores the historical forces that shaped the city’s growth, highlighting key landmark buildings and the development of its civic identity. It also raises critical questions about heritage—particularly the absence of recognized mid-century and later architecture—and examines how we value and preserve our more recent past.

Bringing these threads together, this talk looks forward, challenging us to consider the legacy we are creating today and what the future built environment will say about London at this pivotal moment in its history.
