On the surface Thamesmead might seem concrete and grey, but on this tour we will take a look at the colour and life local artists that are breathing into the area. Examining the past and present, we'll explore the abbey ruins, exciting sculptures, concrete skywalks, and vivid murals that make this place the Town of Tomorrow.

The north of Westminster is rich in stories of how the local community has influenced the built environment in significant and lasting ways. This tour explores how the cityscape we see today has been shaped by different ideological approaches, local campaigns and the push and pull of battles for housing and amenities. It considers the question of who decides what gets built and who is it for?
