One Birdcage Walk

One Birdcage Walk is the purpose built home for the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, opened in 1899. The building is in ‘Queen Anne style’ which was the height of fashion in its day, and fitted out with state-of-the-art features such as telephone, electric lift and synchronome master clock. Overlooking St James’s Park, One Birdcage Walk is regarded as one of the finest examples of traditional architecture in Westminster.
