Staring with the famous transmitter mast atop Alexandra Palace we move inside this large building now used to host exhibitions. We see the interior lobby with its glazed roof, palm trees and sphinx, along with the famous organ, dating from 1875, at one end of the main hall where there is an exhibition on aviation. We then move to the Longmarket shopping district in Canterbury where modern buildings contrast sharply with the medieval cathedral in the distance.
