De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill-on-Sea

The De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill-on-Sea was designed by architects Erich Mendelsohn and Serge Chermayeff and opened to the public in 1935. It is named after the 9th Earl De La Warr who commissioned its construction.

The pavilion is a truly striking building, one of Britian's first Modernist public spaces.

The most interesting part of the building is the three storey circular section with open-air balconies with sufficient space for deckchairs.

It houses a series of curving staircases that wrap around a large pendulum light and provide access to each level.
