We promise an unforgettable night which will showcase landmarks of the rapidly changing Great Wild East - from St Paul to Hitchcock, from Dickens to Olympics, from Bolsheviks (they are born to East End too) to Blitz kids, culminating in the visit of the newly built Olympic Park and music picnic with the string orchestra of the Trinity Laban college.

Velonotte starts from The Hermitage Museum, Saint-Petersburg:

This unprecedented architectural event was conceived in 2007 by prof. Sergey Nikitin, a young Moscow-based architectural historian and brought to the world’s greatest cities by the non-profit Bureau de Velonotte/Moskultprog in partnership with leading architects, cultural commentators and local authorities (who helped organize the logistics). Velonotte events were met with critical acclaim and public enthusiasm in Rome (2010), New York and St Petersburg (2011). The speakers included - Peter Eisenman, Sergey Tchoban, Jean-Louis Cohen, Vittorio Vidotto, Ken Jackson. The most recent such event in Moscow in 2011 attracted more than 7,000 people.
