Supporting Education

Promoting architecture in the Square Mile to a wide public through a regular programme of talks and tours. A key focus of the Trust’s work is supporting greater diversity in the architectural profession.

Talks & Events

The Trust will host a regular programme of talks about architecture in the City aimed at a general audience and young people. These will include regular talks at the weekends for people visiting the Cathedral, as well as lectures during the week and schools’ visits. With the City annually attracting 6.59 million visitors with 1.5 million people visiting St Paul’s Cathedral, Temple Bar can once again become the ‘Gateway to the City’ by introducing visitors to its architectural heritage, to the Wren Churches and the Livery Halls, as well as its modern architecture.
