Savoy Place History

Mark Tickner
I had the opportunity to visit Savoy Place with my little one today.  The Faraday Centre is a really nice resource and it's a shame I don't have the opportunity to make use of it a bit more often.


But as I was explaining that it has changed over the years (as things must), my little one didn't believe me that the old members coffee room used to be a dingy room in the basement behind the Faraday statue which was under the shop.  Also they were surprised when I mentioned some of the other things that have changed (like the foyer, the old library, etc).


I was wondering if anyone (IET staff or member) had archive pictures of what it used to look before the updates were made?  Unfortunately I was less of a shutter bug in those days.

    Mark Tickner:

    One of these days I'll manage to get onto that roof terrace!  Do they post the opening days anywhere online?

     




    IET Members can have a general look around on set days - next dates available are 28th, 29th, 30th, 31st August. No need to book. 


     




    Unfortunately, I'm not regularly in London.  So unless you know the proposed dates in October (although I guess at some point it get's closed for the winter, except for New Years Eve.) and dates after those, it's unlikely it will be open for me.
