Join us for our 2026 Christmas lecture by the BBC's Samira Ahmed held at Allies and Morrison office (located by Tate Modern).
The lives of John, Paul, George and Ringo took them from council estates to post war office blocks to television studios to stockbroker belt bungalows. In this special lecture, C20 President Samira Ahmed (author of the book A Hard Day's Night (2026, BFI Classics) will take us on an illustrated journey through the 20th century architecture that the Fab Four inhabited – exploring the social change and the cultural aspirations it reveals.
Samira Ahmed is the C20 president, a journalist, broadcaster and writer whose work explores the intersection of popular culture, heritage, art, science, politics and social change. She presents the BBC’s flagship arts and culture show ‘Front Row’ on Radio 4 and ‘Newswatch’ on BBC1.
