Egyptomania: Restored
📍Reliance Arcade, Brixton, Lambeth - Andrews and Peascod, 1923-25
Grade II listed in 2010 with support from C20 Society. Restored in 2020 by @HOLTofLondon with a donation from Mishcon de Reya.
The @HistoricEngland list entry credits the architectural interest in the “early use of the Egyptian style in the façade of buff faience with polychrome detailing” and # historic interest in “the clearest architectural manifestation of the major wave of immigration that had such an important impact on the cultural and social landscape of post-war Britain.”

Snoop Dogg later said, “I believe we got out-gangstered that day.”

Frost took the smooth Latin-rock groove of El Chicano’s 1970 hit
