Model of the City of London, with some buildings "under construction"Open House London runs for two days. So I visited some of the usually closed liver buildings in the City of London.
The City of London is also called The Square Mile and is outlined by the old Roman walls.
This model of the City of London is used by its marketing experts to inform and convince investors from all over the world.
On Open House London, the model was explained by a man who once worked for the company who produced the model. I was surprised how much this man knew about the architecture of nearly each building in this model, apart from his knowledge on model making. Above that he presented his knowledge very witty ("We model makers have a biblical ability. We can walk on water.")
He wasn't the only one that impressed me today. The guide who explained the Guildhall in perfection is the hall's security man. At the RSA, a member of the society finished the day with his eleventh lecture on the building and its great paintings. And in Drapers' Hall and Apothecaries' Hall the many volunteers on duty answered every question you could possibly think of.
