An illustrated talk which takes us from Hyde Park Corner to Piccadilly Circus examining the history of Piccadilly and its buildings. An insight into the development of the West End from a site housing aristocratic mansions, through luxury shopping and hotels to the office blocks and apartments of today. Organisations/Venues should have appropriate IT and projection facilities to allow a PowerPoint presentation to be shown. This talk lasts about 45 minutes to an hour.
