Why it's Wildland

2.9

King’s Strand Campus sits amid a dense weave of London landmarks. A campus walk described by the university passes the Strand Building, Bush House and the Royal Courts of Justice before reaching the Maughan Library; nearby Somerset House adds a striking architectural neighbour.

This is a central-London campus, not a wild landscape. Its interest for Wildland is as a starting point for an architecture-and-culture walk: university buildings, Somerset House and a short route towards the Maughan Library give the visit a more distinctive thread than a generic city-centre stop.
