Fundraising Reception at Wellington Arch

We are pleased to announce that, in association with English Heritage, The Heritage of London Trust, will host a champagne and canapés heritage awareness reception at Wellington Arch, Hyde Park Corner, on the evening on January 17^th 2008.

The reception has been generously sponsored by

This reception aims to promote awareness of the Heritage of London Trust’s valuable role in our capital. The event will also highlight the similarities and closely related aims of English Heritage and the Trust.
