Retrofitting London’s skyscrapers
New London Architecture say: “A significant number of London’s tall buildings, built in the 1960s and 70s, are now in desperate need of refurbishment…” They are running a free breakfast talk just off Tottenham Court Road on Friday 13th Sept 2019 between 8.30 – 9.30 am. For full details and to register visit New London Architecture.
On Saturday afternoon (14th Sept) there are two different free events taking place in Bow. Hopefully you’ll be able to fit in both.
Tudor Sights & Sounds
Courtier, or commoner, whoever you were in Tudor London daily life was an assault on the senses. Visit Bow Church between 1-5pm to hear A Merrie Noyse (top photo) and some of the Bow Church singers bring to life Tudor music.
You might even be able to join in. There’ll be other fun activities too, which will give a glimpse of the lives of our predecessors. Bow was once a quiet hamlet by the bridge over the River Lea. Meet some minstrels, quiz them about the music, their instruments, what they’re wearing – and why.
This free event is at Bow church Sat 14 Sept 2019 from 1-5pm.
