Between the years of 1924 and 1937 many theatres in Central London were constructed or remodelled in a spectacular style we have come to know as Art Deco.

In particular, eight new theatres were completed within 13 months, spanning October 1929 to November 1930, with opening nights often being within weeks of each other.

This live presentation takes you on a virtual tour of these impressive theatres and, using photographs and maps to illustrate the details and locations, I'll talk about the unusual design features and the architects who created them. You'll see how the decorative styles of that era changed and adapted over time from Jazz Age geometrics to simplified Streamline Moderne.

After the tour the meeting room will stay open for questions and discussion.

• Please note, this is not a video experience – it is a presentation – I talk about the subject whilst showing you slides containing images and maps.

• Details for how to access this event will be on your booking confirmation and ticket which will both be sent via email after you have purchase.

This is also available as a guided walk – please see Jane's London Walks for more info.

My guiding style is inclusive, open and friendly. I design and research every tour myself – in fact, the research never ends. The tours I offer are all on subjects that intrigue me – each highlights a different facet of my personality. I am particularly interested in the architecture on our ever-changing streets and the little details on and above them.
