The National Trust, the Horniman Museum and Gardens, and Bompas & Parr have announced their winning entries for new interactive installation, ‘The Imminent Diorama’, which will allow the public to see one of London’s finest unprotected views of the city at the Horniman, as it appears now and as it could appear over the next eighty years. 

St Paul’s Heights, the original eight protected views of St Paul’s Cathedral, were first proposed to the City of London Corporation in 1937 by W. Godfrey Allen, Surveyor to the Fabric of St Paul’s. They responded to the growing concern that important views of the cathedral might be obscured by tall buildings in the vicinity, as new methods of construction allowed for buildings of greater height. The City Corporation adopted W. Godfrey Allen’s proposals in 1938, by a “gentleman’s agreement”. These views, and others, were given policy status in the 1980s. 

Following the call to artists to submit their visions, the National Trust and Bompas & Parr received a large number of fantastic entries from high calibre artists and architects, all highlighting the need to consider and reflect on future views. The final installation will highlight the delight and importance of views to Londoners, and their current lack of protection in certain areas of London.
