Most interesting architecture for Great Britain!

Hi Stephan, yes indeed. It was built with an "oriental" indian-arabian theme. The interior is decorated with a lot of Chinese and mock-chinese ornamentation. It was a period when Britain was expanding into Asia and there was intense and rather romanticized interest in anything related to the East.

The romanticizing really shows on the inside. I found it overwhelming. In a good way. Not to my taste but a worthwhile experience. This a fine photo of the exterior. IIt does look its best from a distance. When I was tgere long ago I was too captivated by the close-up detail.

Hi John,
Thanks. Yes, I agree, I found the interior magnificent but overpowering, not a place I could imagine anyone feeling at home in, but I guess that was never the point. Perhaps a modern equivalent would be one of Trump's follies, Mar-a-Largo or Trump Towers maybe?
