I AM ENTHUSIASTIC about the Art Deco style of architecture that flourished mainly between the two World Wars, but has not been entirely abandoned today.

Bombay, which I visit often, is rich in Art Deco buildings,  but in London, there are fewer examples. In Kensington, Winchester Court is a fine example. Built in 1935 on the site of a demolished orphanage,  it is not far from two other Art Deco edifices on High Street Kensington, both built as department stores: the former Barkers and its neighbour, Derry and Thoms.

Those interested in Art Deco will find interesting examples dotted around the London’s suburbs that developed during the inter-war years.
