SUMMARY:Art Deco Holloway
DESCRIPTION:On this guided walk\, Jane will show you some marvellous ‘statement’ architecture constructed in the interwar years during a design period that came to be identified as ‘Art Deco’. \nThe modernist architecture of the 1920s and 1930s with its clean geometric lines\, simplicity\, functionality and minimal decorative enhancement was designed to impress and inspire – a kind of “understated showing-off” pointing to a positive bright future – a complete change from the fussiness and over-embellishments of the Victorian and Edwardian eras – Holloway has some excellent and varied examples all hiding in plain view. \nFor more info on this specific walk please use the website link at the bottom or see janeslondonwalks on Eventbrite \n\n\n	Related
