Art Deco in Bloomsbury

From the austere sobriety of London’s first skyscraper to the sleek curves of a majestic garage and petrol station, ‘Art Deco in Bloomsbury’ explores how modern architecture unexpectedly blossomed in one of the capital’s most bohemian neighbourhoods.

Following in the footsteps of Virginia Woolf and other members of the Bloomsbury Group (who, as Dorothy Parker so famously phrased it, ‘lived in squares, painted in circles and loved in triangles’), visitors will not only be discovering fascinating interwar residences and university buildings, but also be having the opportunity to examine a commemorative plaque of a ‘passive aggressive’ nature as well as experience a brief ‘Brutalist’ interlude.
