RIBA Architecture Gallery — 66 Portland Place

Fitzrovia · design · Free

I come here when I need to remember what institutional architecture looked like when it took itself seriously. The bronze entry doors alone are worth a trip up Portland Place.

Grey Wornum's 1934 Art Deco headquarters for the Royal Institute of British Architects. The building is the primary reason to come — the stone reliefs, the entrance hall, the first-floor reception rooms.
