Look up—London’s skyline is changing fast. From glass towers designed by world-famous architects to controversial developments springing up in unexpected places, the city is growing upward at an unprecedented pace. Curious—or concerned—about what’s driving this vertical transformation? Join me for a lively, thought-provoking session where we’ll explore:
- Eye-opening truths about why high-rises might be more inevitable than you think
- The role of the New London Architecture (NLA) and what their research reveals
- A guided look at London’s vertical hotspots—from the City and Canary Wharf to Nine Elms, Battersea, and even the secretive world of the "basement belt" There’ll be plenty of time for questions, discussion, and debate—come and have your say on the future of London’s skyline!
About Roberta
Roberta’s love for art and architecture borders on "obsession"—and she’s happily embraced it! Her special passion lies in Modernist architecture, which led her to earn a Graduate Certificate with distinction in History of Art and Architecture from Birkbeck University. That was actually her second degree—her first career is in Economics, with over 20 years of experience in the fast-paced world of financial markets. Now, she channels her energy into making art and architecture not just informative, but fun, relatable and engaging for everyone. She’s the founder of Art Tours with a Theme – ART wiT, a London-based project offering themed tours and talks that bring the city’s creativity to life. You can follow her curated art and architecture adventures on Instagram @artwit_london and Facebook @artwitlondon.
