David Dimbleby's journey through Britain's architecture concludes with a look at how 20th century developments changed southern England. He explores the 'Tudorbethan' houses and palatial cinemas of Metroland's suburban sprawl, a public swimming pool built in the Modern style and the prefabs and high-rises that sprung up as a result of war. Dimbleby's tour concludes with a look at the breathtaking steel and glass architecture of the City of London.
