The Granary building

London continues to be fascinating; no matter how many times you visit. The city has a perfect equilibrium of tradition and modernity, which makes it unique and always surprising. There is always something new to discover.

We can add the new buildings of the olympic Games of 2012 to the list of cutting-edge architecture in London. The ambitious proposal to transform the Lower Lea Valley zone, one of the poorest areas on the east side of the city, into the olympic stage.

We cannot forget to visit some of the most emblematic buildings of contemporary London.

We will focus on Educational buildings, Sports, Cultural buildings, office buildings and, of course, “must see”, with focus on building techniques and architecture.
