Leo Hollis

Leo Hollis reads from his new book, The Phoenix: St Paul’s Cathedral and the Men Who Made Modern London, and takes questions from the audience.

The Phoenix charts the remarkable and inspiring story of how London was transformed after the Great Fire of 1666 into the most powerful city in the world, and the men who were responsible for that achievement.

The sweeping narrative combines science, architecture, philosophy and politics with all the colour and character of Restoration England.

The 300th anniversary of the completion of St Paul’s is in 2008.
