Saturday, 17 December at 10.45am. Visit to Two Temple Place, followed by lunch at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese Meet outside at Two Temple Place, London WC2R 3BD
Built to elaborate specifications by William Waldorf Astor, later first Viscount Astor, in 1895 as his residence and estate office on reclaimed land following completion of the Victoria Embankment in 1870, Two Temple Place has been acquired and preserved by the Bulldog Trust and offers a unique location in the heart of central London, overlooking the River Thames. An imposing casket of Portland stone on the exterior, inside is a testament to the skills and expertise of some of the finest sculptors of the nineteenth century, and the building provides an unrivalled venue f functions of a personal or corporate nature, combining the grandeur of a state occasion with the intimacy of a party in a private house. John Loughborough Pearson, a pre-eminent figure in his profession, was the architect chosen by Lord Astor to build Two Temple Place. Unfettered by consideration of finance and emboldened by the full liberty of expression granted to him and materials and craftsmen of the highest quality at his disposal, he was able to create a building worthy of its distinguished owner. For directions see here. Admission is free and cost of lunch will be payable on the day. Lunch cannot be booked at the weekend so we will just turn up at just before noon, but to give us an idea of numbers please contact John Poynton on 01494 581 075 or email him at jepoynton@eucl.org.uk. Further information can also be obtained from Iain Poole on 07932 767 461. ~~~~~~~~~~~ |
