- In this lecture we get a fascinating glimpse into the changing face of London.
The work of artists over the centuries contains hundreds of images of London, providing a fascinating social document of the Capital. This lecture looks at just a few of these works, both from home-grown Cockneys to Visitors to the City. With images of buildings long gone and the documenting of new arrivals as London expanded and changed, we get a fascinating glimpse into the Changing Face of London.
