New City Dreaming: A Walk with a Point

Discover the curious buildings of central Milton Keynes in this fun architectural walk with writer and local resident John Grindrod. Why are the streets of a super-modern town centre named after neolithic monuments? Why are so many of the buildings mirrored? And why is MK so different from all other UK towns?

John is the author of architectural and social histories including Concretopia and Iconicon, and hosts a podcast Monstrosities Mon Amour. Join him for a stroll around the modern delights of Buckingahmshire's very own Los Angeles.

New City Dreaming is programmed by Pooleyville as part of Heritage Open Days 2025. Visit: https://www.livingarchive.org.uk/events/category/events
