Join Victor Keegan, author of Vic Keegan’s Lost London (vols 1 and 2), for a captivating talk uncovering the fascinating story of the “lone skyscraper” by Vincent Square and the hidden history of the surrounding streets with an opportunity take in the view over Vincent Square and beyond.
This singular high-rise, strikingly out of place among Westminster’s Georgian terraces and historic institutions, has long puzzled locals and visitors alike.
Who built it, and why here? How has its presence shaped the local landscape, and what secrets lie in the area around it?
After the talk, enjoy refreshments and hear from residents as they share their experiences of living in Hide Tower.
Whether you’re a history enthusiast, local resident, or simply curious about London’s hidden stories, this talk offers a rewarding journey into the unseen layers of the city.
