British Architecture: Wren and Parliament

Sir Christopher Wren designed the new St Paul's Cathedral after the 1666 Great Fire of London, and helped develop a British version of European ornate styles. The Houses of Parliament and St Pancras Station were built in the 19th-century Gothic Revival style. Sir Edwin Lutyens designed New Delhi and the Cenotaph in Whitehall — the site of the Remembrance Day service. Modern British architects like Sir Norman Foster, Lord (Richard) Rogers and Dame Zaha Hadid continue to shape global architecture.
