Description
London's Art Deco Heritage: A Photographic Tour In the 1920s, London underwent a transformation, as artists and designers sought to revitalize its architecture with a new style. This emerging art deco aesthetic brought brightness and color to the city's buildings, from the Hoover factory to Eltham Palace, communicating its aspirations as a thriving metropolis. The city's most popular art deco attractions include the Daily Telegraph and Daily Express headquarters, Eltham Palace, and the London Underground, featuring a series of art deco and modernist stations designed by Charles Holden. This book captures the architectural art deco heritage of London through 300 photographs, accompanied by insightful essays that shed light on key features of the style. For those planning a trip to London, this book also includes a detailed register and maps to help navigate these striking buildings.
