Art Deco Bike Tour - Fully Booked

The Deco Dynamo - Sunday 23rd February 10am - 14.00.

Led by: Elain Harwood author of Art Deco Britain, published by Batsford Books in association with the C20 Society

By contrast with The Dunwich Dynamo (an all-night bike ride for serious cyclists only), the Deco Dynamo is a gentle, light-hearted ride through central London on a Sunday morning looking at the best Art Deco exteriors, including some NOT featured in Art Deco Britain.  We will start at Victoria Station at 10am, ride through Hyde Park and Mayfair, up Regent Street and Portland Place, then to the Carreras Cigarette Factory (Mornington Crescent), with a short break.  The second part of the tour takes us through Holborn and the City, finishing near Borough Market (London Bridge) where there are plenty of places for lunch, beer or both.  Expected finish time around 13.30 – 14.00.

Bring your own bike – suitable for Bromptons. Participants must undertake the tour at their own risk and wearing a helmet is advisable. 

Meet time/place: Victoria Station outside WH Smith on main concourse  10am

Finish time/place: Borough Market 13.30-14.00

Members’ price:   £15
