Paul Eaton presented ‘A history of White City’ at our virtual Friday Talks and Drinks, building upon a presentation he first gave at the 2018 Urban Land Institute (ULI) Development Forum on White City. His Talk is part of an ongoing weekly series we are hosting while we all work from home during the Covid Lockdown.
