London building fact file - Worksheet

The "London building fact file" worksheet is an educational resource designed to encourage students to explore and document the significance of buildings within London, the capital city of the United Kingdom. The worksheet is structured to prompt students to include a photo of the building, and detail reasons for its importance, delve into its history, pinpoint its location, and share any interesting facts associated with it. This activity not only aims to highlight why London is the UK's capital but also to identify and appreciate the notable architecture and structures that contribute to the city's cultural and historical landscape.

Extending beyond London, the worksheet invites students to examine the significant buildings closer to their own locality, whether it be a village or the nearest city. It prompts them to research buildings within a 30-kilometre radius of their school and document their findings using a similar format. This task encourages students to look at their immediate environment and recognise the importance of local architecture. By providing examples of noteworthy buildings outside London, the worksheet serves as a guide to help students think critically about the built environment in their area and its relevance to the broader architectural heritage of the UK.
