SUMMARY:Zoom | Streamlined Style: London’s Art Deco Virtual Tour with Stephen Benton
DESCRIPTION:Streamlined Style: London’s Art Deco \n \nThe city of London is bursting with 1920s and 1930s Art Deco architecture blending streamlined modernity with elegant and bold geometric forms. Our guide\, Stephen Benton will take us on a digital journey spotlighting some of London’s notable examples of this glamorous style. We will explore the history and design of Palladium House\, built for the European subsidiary of the American Radiator Company. This striking building was designed as a scaled-down version of the American Radiator Building in NYC (now the Bryant Park hotel) featuring the same black granite facing with gold accents. We will also look at the former London Transport Headquarters at 55 Broadway close to St. James’ Park.  Designed by Charles Holden\, the building was the tallest office block in London in 1929\, and its innovative design and sculptures are celebrated as one of the most significant Art Deco designs in the city. The Art Deco style always was associated with industrial progress and modernity. London’s first city-center air terminal—the Imperial Airways Terminal—was built in 1939 as the office headquarters as well as the entrance to the special train platform at Victoria Station. Thousands of ticketed passengers flying from Southampton airport would first pass through this London building to catch a train to their flight.  The terminal encapsulates the forward-thinking spirit of the era\, reflecting the burgeoning age of air travel with its sleek\, aerodynamic design. Our journey will also encompass Peter Jones Department Store on Sloane Square\, a remaining example that demonstrates how the Art Deco style influenced retail spaces\, combining both functionality with the era’s characteristic stylish aesthetics. Lastly\, we will examine the Art Deco transformation of the older Savoy Theatre. Known for its luxurious and streamlined design\, the theatre exemplifies how Art Deco style also permeated the world of entertainment\, adding a touch of glamour to the performing arts scene.

SUMMARY:Zoom Rental | London’s Great Hotels Virtual Tour
DESCRIPTION:The George Inn is the only remaining galleried inn in London and was familiar to Charles Dickens. \nLondon’s Great Hotels\nZoom Rental\nWednesday\, November 27 | 12:00 p.m. ET \n\nBefore the 19th century\, visitors to London had limited options for accommodation\, primarily relying on gentlemen’s clubs\, lodging houses\, and coaching inns. Stephen Benton will unveil the fascinating history of London’s hotels through a digital walking tour\, made for Royal Oak. Our journey will begin with the last surviving galleried coaching inn in London\, the wonderful George Inn\, now preserved by the National Trust. We will explore how the advent of the railway revolutionized travel and accommodation\, leading to the establishment of hotels at many of London’s main stations\, including the magnificent Gothic marvel at St Pancras. By the early 20th century\, some of London’s most iconic hotels had been founded\, such as Claridge’s\, The Langham\, The Ritz\, and The Savoy\, which was substantially rebuilt in the 1930s in a flamboyant Art Deco style. Between the World Wars\, several grand aristocratic townhouses were demolished to make way for iconic hotels like The Dorchester and Grosvenor House. The 1960s introduced London’s first hotel tower\, the Hilton\, while the 1980s saw the rise of boutique hotels\, often housed in repurposed historic buildings. Today\, London boasts over 700 hotels with more than 120\,000 rooms\, ranging from the richly historic to the purely utilitarian. Join Stephen Benton for a captivating exploration of this diverse and ever-evolving landscape. \nTickets: $30 Members*; $40 Non-Members\n*Membership discount applied automatically when logged into your Royal-Oak.org account

SUMMARY:Zoom Tour Live | Scenic Scotland: Dumfries
DESCRIPTION:Scenic Scotland: Dumfries \nWhile not as widely recognized as the Highlands of the north\, Dumfriesshire boasts an abundance of scenic beauty that rivals any other region in Scotland.
