Perfect end to our @thestrandgroup London governance module this year - across to City Hall for an excellent session with Deputy Mayor @howarddawber discussing the mayoralty today.
Some of the class then celebrated with a ‘flight’ on the cable car🚠 👋

Enjoyed talking about the sometimes bizarre history of No.10 Downing Street with Patrick here - alongside some great interviewees.
Well worth a listen - although not sure I’d quite go with ‘famous mad house’!

Wonderful as always to take our @thestrandgroup 'London: Governing the Global City' class to the Guildhall to discuss the ancient @cityoflondon's role in London, the UK and the world.
Not sure whose bright idea was it to take a class pic in the crypt... 💡😬
