EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of a house in Grosvenor Road, Westminster, along the Thames Embankment. Designed by renowned architects G. & A. Gilbert Scott in the early 20th century, this architectural masterpiece showcases their exceptional talent and attention to detail. Once known as 129 Grosvenor Road, this magnificent building later transformed into The Riviera Dance Club, becoming one of London's most fashionable dance venues during the vibrant 1920s and 1930s. Situated opposite Dolphin Square's current location, it attracted socialites and trendsetters who reveled in its glamorous atmosphere. The photo reveals a glimpse of life inside the club with elegantly dressed women gracefully moving across its interior space. The skylight above bathes them in natural light while highlighting intricate columns and pillars that add an air of sophistication to the surroundings. Looking beyond the club's walls, we catch sight of a statue standing proudly amidst a courtyard adorned with lush greenery. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates both the beauty of architecture and nature coexisting harmoniously within Westminster's bustling cityscape. Preserved through time by Studio Volume 82 publication from London Offices of The Studio in 1921, this print allows us to appreciate Sir Giles Gilbert Scott's legacy as one of Britain's esteemed architects. It serves as a reminder not only of our rich architectural heritage but also how places can evolve over time to become symbols of cultural significance like The Riviera Dance Club once was.
