Art Deco Walk: a spotters guide

Did you know that 2025 marked a special anniversary for art deco? While the style dates back to the 1910s, art deco got its name as an abbreviation for the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels (International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts), which took place in Paris in 1925. An entire century later, art deco’s glamourous craftmanship, bold geometric shapes and opulent colours are as admired as ever. Proclaimed the greatest art deco building in the world was, drum roll please… **The Daily Express Building** on Fleet Street. The Grade II\*-listed site, which was designed by Ellis & Clarke in 1932 - has now shed its builders mask and the refurb is nearing completion. We will take a 5-6 mile walk from London Bridge to Trafalgar Square looking at Art Deco architectural masterpieces in London. End with a drink and food near Seven Dials in Covent Garden. Join us for a walk and socialising after work on Friday. See you there! Please aim to reach there before the start time - we will leave at 6:35 PM sharp. I’m
