The City of London: Adapting to Change

The City of London: Adapting to Change

The City of London is an area steeped in architectural heritage, yet it continues to be transformed, with major office developments by some of the world’s leading architects. What events shaped this transformation? How do the buildings respond to challenges and opportunities?

King's Cross: Radical Regeneration

King's Cross: Radical Regeneration

King’s Cross is one of the largest and most successful redevelopments in London. Over the past 20 years, what was an underused industrial site has been transformed and rejuvenated. On this walking tour, we explore the industrial heritage of the site and learn the story of its radical transformation.

Southbank to Covent Garden: Arts & Institutions

Southbank to Covent Garden: Arts & Institutions

The Southbank, Somerset House and Covent Garden – three London landmarks that have seen spectacular change from their original uses. Although all are cultural destinations, their architectural responses are radically different. How did the buildings develop and adapt, and will they remain relevant in a changing world?

Belsize Park: Modern Approaches to Housing

Belsize Park: Modern Approaches to Housing

Housing is the most significant built form in cities. On this walk, we see how architects and planners over the ages have experimented with this building type, often challenging the established norms.

Nine Elms and Battersea: Big, Bold and Brand New

Nine Elms and Battersea: Big, Bold and Brand New

It has been hailed as Europe’s largest urban regeneration project. Like it or loathe it, the transformation of Vauxhall, Nine Elms and Battersea includes plenty of iconic architecture and urban planning. As building work continues, this is an ideal time to take a critical look at key developments in this area.

Clerkenwell: Inspired Interventions

Clerkenwell: Inspired Interventions

Clerkenwell is a neighbourhood that is steeped in history yet also includes fascinating examples of assertive, modern architecture. This tour investigates how architects have responded to their surroundings and traces the history of this area.

The City of London: Night and the City

The City of London: Night and the City

After dark, the buildings of the City of London reveal themselves. When illuminated from inside and outside, there is a vibrancy and warmth not seen in daylight. Join us for this special walk that not only looks at projects by some of the world's leading architects but also investigates the impact of lighting on these buildings and on our environment.

The Westminster of Edwin Lutyens

The Westminster of Edwin Lutyens

Sir Edwin Lutyens was arguably England's most admired and prolific architect of the early 20th Century. His work is best seen in detail so this walk in Whitehall and St James includes several of his finest London buildings. We see Lutyens designs in their urban context as the route takes us through some of the most historic and elegant streets in London.

I am Ross Logie. I founded Seeing Architecture because of my fascination with London and its architectural heritage. As a practising architect, I am interested in why and how buildings are built.

During my years living in London, I have been a senior designer at several firms. I was also a visiting lecturer at National University of Singapore and have written numerous articles for architectural publications. Since 2016,I have arranged about 30 unique architectural tours in London and around. I aim to make all tours enjoyable and informative for you.
