Join RIBA and SAVE Britain’s Heritage for a walking tour that brings to light the often-overlooked contributions of women to the built environment.
As we wander through the city’s streets, parks, buildings, and public spaces, we uncover the stories of women who have helped shape London’s architectural landscape.
Led by RIBA and Henrietta Billings, Director at SAVE, we’ll explore how gender, social movements, and cultural changes have influenced the design and use of public spaces. Drawing on RIBA Collections, the tour features readings and landmark case studies, offering a powerful reflection on the legacy and visibility of women in design.
From suffragist landmarks to the legacy of pioneering female architects and local community leaders, uncover the subtle but powerful ways women have used their voice and power to change our built environment.
Meeting point: Emmeline and Christobel Memorial, Victoria Tower Gardens, Millbank, London SW1P 3JU
