'Two Temple Place, sitting on the Victoria embankment and commissioned by and built for William Waldorf Astor in the 1890s was both an ornate historical and literary fantasy and a working office. It retains that unusual public-private mode to this day. It is the home of the Bulldog Trust, a social impact charity using Two Temple Place for a key tool in its cultural, community and educational work, making it available for public and private use.'
This remarkable building is a living conservation project, in constant development. Join us for a visit and learn more about Astors’ back story of how they came by their remarkable fortune, the building's rise from the ashes of WWII bombing and its modern history culminating in its current vital charity role.
