One of the great things about wandering round London on the London Flickr Group photowalks is that often we visit parts of London that I've never ventured into previously. Often you find hidden gems such as Ibex House, an Art Moderne mixed use building in Aldgate.

From the Allsop.co.uk website, "The iconic Ibex House stands in a prominent position, occupying an island site of 0.75 acres, just a short walk from Aldgate. This impressive 1930s office building was designed by architects Fuller, Hall and Foulsham in the Streamline Moderne style of Modernist architecture, popularised across the UK by Odeon Cinemas. Today, Ibex House finds itself at the crossroads of London’s creative, financial and tech districts.

The Streamline Moderne, or Art Moderne style encompasses both the elegance and industrial elements of the 1930s. This architectural style is expressed through curving forms, long horizontal lines, and sometimes, nautical elements. At Ibex House, this is represented through black metal-framed windows forming continuous horizontal bands of glazing, and a dramatic curved window beneath a projecting canopy roof.

The Streamline Moderne style can be seen as a rejection of Art Deco: sharp angles were replaced with aerodynamic curves, whilst exotic woods and stone were substituted with sleek concrete and glass. It was also the first architectural style to incorporate electric light into building structure, resulting in an ultra-modern appearance that encapsulated the spirit of the time."
