Evan has a deep knowledge of his subject and I gained a much better appreciation of the history, context, and ideals of Brutalism, perhaps the last truly visionary architecture we've had. He has a carefully crafted itinerary that takes one to the highlights in London and... read more

  •   Evan really loves this architecture because it’s beautiful and made with passion and craftsmanship but also because it proves another world and another future is possible. The walk was fun but also moving and thought-provoking. Very special!

  •   I like Brutalism architecture more, thanks to Evan ! His passion for that type of architecture was catching, and he was very knowledgable. I learned a lot on this tour, and I particularly recommend it for people who know little/or dislike modern architecture because Evan may make you a fan.

  •   My boyfriend and I had a wonderful tour of brutalist architecture in London. It’s something off the beaten path and we wouldn’t have explored these areas without Evan.

  •   We were extremely impressed with Evan’s knowledge and enthusiasm for Brutalism, architecture, and London’s history in general. Although a ton of walking, we were blown away by the amount of Brutalism in the city that we would never have seen without this tour. Evan is very charming, eager... read more
