The NLA (New London Architecture) describes itself as an organisation for anyone interested in London’s built environment.

Their HQ houses several impressive scale models of London and a few other architectural displays. I enjoyed admiring the models, unsurprising given how much of my youth I wasted on SimCity 3000.
