British Art Deco Architecture: Our Love Affair with Houses and Hotels of the 1920s and 1930s

Pamela Campbell-Johnston considered a selection of iconic British Art Deco buildings, whilst exploring our continued love affair with one of the most fascinating of 20th-century architectural styles.

From hotels, restaurants and tube stations to apartment blocks, offices, picture houses and lidos, the British public fell in love with this ‘architecture of luxury‘ of the 1920s and 1930s.

Highlighting signature examples of both houses and hotels, Pamela explored the development of this ‘interwar’ architectural style within the context of its social and economic environment.
