By looking at Victorian buildings in South Kensington this event will discuss and compare varying architectural styles. Brompton Oratory, once the most important Catholic church in London, is based on the sixteenth-century Chiesa Nuova in Rome. The nearby Holy Trinity Brompton is a good example of Victorian neo-Gothic. The architecture of the Natural History Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum offer interpretations of Romanesque, Italianate and other styles. The morning will end in the Architecture Gallery of the V&A.
