Art Deco Icons

Recently I have been working on a project which takes some inspiration from art deco, and so watching this BBC4 series, called Art Deco Icons, has made for some good viewing.
Architectural historian, David Heathcote, follows the Art Deco movement in Britain during the 1930's. So far, an in depth look around Claridges Hotel (we must do tea!), and a poke around London Transport HQ in St James' (tickets please!). Interesting stuff.

Available to watch on the BBC iPlayer, if you are in the UK.
