Completed in 1868, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office was designed by George Gilbert Scott after he successfully won the commission in a public competition. Scott originally planned a gothic building, but was forced to change his designs after Lord Palmerston, the then Foreign Secretary, insisted on a classical style. We privately tour the principal rooms of the building and learn about the £100 million restoration completed in 1997.
This event is also taking place on 27 November 2013.
