Welcome to the Unit 2 London Project wiki.

Over the Autumn term stage 1 students will, working in groups, create an information resource about eight areas of London. Each area is known for its particular cultural qualities. It is up to the group members to identify these and then find ten places or activities within their area that are useful for students of architecture or design.

A useful introduction to the cultural resources of London is to be found in London: A Cultural Audit prepared for the London Development agency in early 2008. This document compares what London offers with four other world cities - Paris, New York, Shanghai and Tokyo.

The main pages for each group are below.

• Brick Lane/Whitechapel
• South Kensington
• Hoxton/Shoreditch
• Hyde Park
• Oxford St/Bond St
• Smithfield/Barbican
• Soho
• The South Bank
