Christopher Wren - Practice Information

Famous 17th century English architect

Design Council Cabe Chairman Paul Finch, said in May 2012:
“Christopher Wren is one of the greatest architects this country has ever produced and his legacy plays a part in the life of millions of Londoners and visitors every day,” he said. “That in itself makes his life worth celebrating, without even taking into consideration his extraordinary contribution to medicine and astronomy.”
