Architect: George Grey Wornum, 1932-34

This building was inspired by Scandinavian and Neo-classical buildings, but is now thought to be an excellent example of the Art Deco style. It includes carvings, bronze doors and etched glass.

The architect was also responsible for some of the interiors of the Queen Mary and most of the Queen Elizabeth.

The building is open to the public 8.00 - 18.00 Monday to Saturday. For more details call +44 (0)20 7580 5533 or see www.architecture.com
