Sat, Oct 10, 12:15 PM**SAT 10/10 - Art Deco Architecture đ˘ & Drinks đťâ Ealing & Perivale** Weâre hosting a relaxed, **architecture**âfocused afternoon (followed by **refreshments** đť). We'll explore some of **Perivale**âs finest **Art** **Deco** landmarks. Expect **good** **weather**, easy company, and a chance to learn about four standout 1930s/1940s buildings â from transport modernism to industrial Deco. đ **Meeting Point** Outside **Perivale Tube Station at 2pm** / **Ealing Broadway Station outside M&S at 1.15pm** đ Stop 1 â Perivale Tube Station (Charles Holden, 1947) A classic example of London Transport modernism: clean brick geometry, clerestory glazing, and Holdenâs signature strippedâback Deco influence. Weâll talk about its postâwar completion and how it fits into Holdenâs wider architectural language. đ˘ Stop 2 â The Pineapple Building (Wallis, Gilbert & Partners, 1930s) A 10âminute walk from the station. This former industrial building carries the unmistakable Wallis, Gilbert & Partners style â bold massing, Deco ornament, and playful commercial modernism. Great for graphic compositions and detail shots. đ˝ď¸ Stop 3 â The Hoover Canteen (Wallis, Gilbert & Partners, 1932) Part of the original Hoover complex, the canteen is a smaller but beautifully proportioned Deco structure. Weâll cover its role in the factoryâs social design and how the architects blended function with Deco flair. đď¸ Stop 4 â The Hoover Building (Wallis, Gilbert & Partners, 1932) One of Britainâs most iconic Art Deco façades: Egyptianâinfluenced ornament, polychromatic detailing, and monumental symmetry. Weâll explore its history, decline, restoration, and current use â plus why it remains a favourite for architectural photographers. đť WrapâUp Weâll finish the day in a pub for drinks and socialising.

THE BAYSWATER REVIVAL
Sat, Oct 24, 11:00 AM(pictured: PLP's 'Park Modern' overlooking Hyde Park) Bayswaterâ was âBayardâs Watering Placeâ, for horses, where the Oxford Road from London, along the north side of Hyde Park, bridged the Westbourne Brook. It has been, at times, seedy, shabby, and in places, slummy. It's isolated, on the âwrong side of the parkâ\*, and outclassed by its neighbours, posh Tyburnia and trendy Notting Hill. Today's Bayswater is the outcome of rapid, disorganised development by builder-speculators, without a master plan: a âfurious crescendoâ, âborrowing Nashâs stucco uniformâ\*\* of residential terraces in the years leading up to WW1. Summerson says: âafter 1850 it is rare to find any architect of good reputation designing estatesâ. In 1868 a steamy, smoky railway was driven through it, and after WW2 multiple streets of damaged houses on the north side were demolished to build the Tectonâs Hallfield Estate, containing 656 flats for 2,362 people. Its biggest thing was Whiteleyâs Department Store, in Queensway, once equal to Selfridges or Harrods, closed in 1981, replaced by a mall in 1989, and finally by the âSix Senses Hotelâ last year. That was the end of its role as a shopping destination. Now Bayswater is âundergoing an exhilarating transformationâ, âevolving into a vibrant new destination for London', âdelivering highly innovative, world-class architectural projects that blend state-of-the-art engineering with historic conservation.â\*\*\* So weâre going to meet at Paddington Square, possibly London's best example of sheer unadulterated modernism, soaring above the Bakerloo Line Station at Paddington, then use the boulevards of Tyburnia, the dual-carriageways of their day, to reach Gloucester Terrace: 800m of straight, level, complete, continuous terraces, forming the boundary of Bayswater. As we turn in to Craven Road, the first thing youâll notice is the sudden, precipitous fall in level, in the mews entrances on either side. In fact, we are walking directly above the subterranean River Westbourne, AND the tunnels of the 1868 Metropolitan Railway extension from Paddington, undertaken at the behest of Parliament, to a new station called âBayswaterâ, 600m to the west. But Bayswaterâs still full of unique features, like Kenneth Framptonâs âCorringhamâ, the UKâs only private âscissors-planâ block of flats, where all the rooms are connected by short staircases: why didnât that idea catch on? Weâll see the âSham Frontsâ, hiding that railway, and, for the first 40 years, its smoke and steam, in Leinster Gardens: matching exactly the 6-storey terraces on either side (except the street doors have no letterboxes). The front looks spooky, the back is positively scary. And a âWhispering Galleryâ, better than the one in St Paulâs, in the Foster + Partners-designed âSix Senses Hotelâ, in the 1911 building by Edwardian Baroque specialists Belcher & Joass, that was once Whiteleyâs Department Store in Queensway. Between Queensway and our luncheon venue youâll see: ⢠Claimed as Londonâs 1st âPost-Modernâ building, CZWGâs 10 Salem Road: a very ordinary warehouse painted pink and then âloadedâ with symbolic and expressive features, this being the exact theory of the style. ⢠An achingly Instagram-able street, Bark Place, of linked semi-detached cottages with arched windows, whose owners appear to have cooperated so that all the most beautiful pastel colours are used, but only once. Rather impressive. ⢠Less than 100m apart, all completed between 1878-80, and all listed, the New West End Synagogue, the Aghia Sophia Greek Orthodox Cathedral, and St Matthew, an âEarly Englishâ (a Gothic Revival style) Parish Church with a remarkable tall and slim, pinnacled spire. ⢠A fragment of that Bayswater development inheritance, âback-to-frontâ, (one-sided) terraces, their fronts facing the backs of the next, with street trees, perhaps once intended to be part of a central garden square, planted in the narrow footways, the massive trunks now filling their full width (Ossington Street and others): one has to walk, carefully, in the road! Venue for our refreshments, âThe Championâ PH, at the very south-west tip of Bayswater, marks the boundary with Kensington, at the road called âNotting Hill Gateâ, after the tollgate on the Oxford Road approaching the district called Notting Hill, a real hill whose summit was in Ladbroke Grove. After lunch, in a new feature of USW events, you are invited to pass through the security checkpoints--in place only because it is a private road--and having promised not to take any photographs, join me for a gentle bonus âstrollâ down the entire 800m of the Kensington Palace Gardens, with its trees at their most spectacular. It is a unique in all London, lined with 30 vast mansions, developed in the 1840âs, to fund improvements to Kensington Palace, on land formerly used for its kitchen gardens. Many are now home to embassies or ambassadorsâ residences, adorned with flags and emblems. At the very end, in Palace Green, there is the house Philip Webb designed for the artist George Howard, and the one the writer W M Thackeray designed for himself, before we head to Gloucester Road Station for onward travel. Hope you can come! Andy \*âLouis Manciniâ, in âKind Hearts and Coronetsâ, 1949 \*\*Sir John Summerson, Georgian London, pp.23, 290 \*\*\* from Messrs Fenton Whelanâs site hoardings
