SAVE Britain’s Heritage is delighted to announce this year's lecture by Simon Jenkins entitled:
Who Guards London?
Throughout history Londoners have argued about the growth and appearance of their city. Rarely were they heard, at least until the 1970s. Then, with the conservation movement, a revolution occurred. Who is protecting London's historic buildings; the Mayor, London boroughs, government ministers, MPs or the voluntary movement? Hear Sir Simon Jenkins on the perennial question of who guards the guardians.
