  •   Evan's tour is truly great if you're a fan of history. His ability to provide context and perspective of English history surrounding brutalism architecture is intriguing and well thought out. I'm an art history graduate and found Evan's information and perspective to be well thought out. Evan is engaging 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!

Evan is flexible with his tour and allows his participants to influence the direction of the discussion based... read more

  •   Superb, don't miss this! 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

  •   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. As someone who has just heard of brutalist architecture in passing, I thought this was a really informative and interesting topic. We... read more
