Aye, but you could say that about anywhere Mr S – the Pyramids, Karnak etc, verses loads of small, out-of-the-way temples in Egypt which are equally worth visiting (if not equally monumental).

But getting back to the Soane Model; Soane probably bought it in 1832 but I don’t think Mike says how much older it might be – looks pretty accurate for something at least 180 years old.

Must try and get up there to see the exhibition.
