I used to take the coach to Oxford every weekend to visit my girlfriend (now wife). The unmistakable sight of the Hoover Building on the A40 usually signals the end of the London 2-mph speed limit.

Initially, I thought it was a monstrosity. I then got used to it. Soon, I became fascinated with the history of the building, and art deco architecture in general.

However, I did not have the idea of creating this site until recently.

After being unimpressed by the map-viewing experience of many websites on mobile devices in general, I decided I wanted to have a go at making a responsive website with google map as a main navigation element, to try and understand the problem, and come up with a usable layout.

This is how Art Deco London came about.

Of course, not an exhaustive listing of art deco architecture in London by any means, this list, however, represents some the most visually stunning buildings in my opinion.

Please provide feedback or simply get in touch by tweeting me!
