This is a picture of the Adelphi building just down the hill from the Strand. Built in the 1930s it replaced the Adam brothers' 18th century ambitious project that left them not speaking to each other. Find out why.
We'll take in the landlocked 18th century watergate, hear why they drive on the right at the Savoy and the unlikely other places where they follow suit.
We'll visit London's oldest building and find out why its neighbours were demolished in the early 1900s to outcry. All this and the unfortunate Lord John Russell.
The cost is £12 per head. You can pay cash on the day or to my account:
