EDITORS COMMENTS
In this close-up view of the dining room at Wembley Stadium Club, taken in 1927, we are transported back in time to an era of glamour and sophistication, where the newest and most exciting sport in England, greyhound racing, reigned supreme among the elite. The image, published by Illustrated London News Ltd and captured by Mary Evans, showcases the exquisite interiors of the newly constructed club, designed by the renowned architect Sir Owen Williams, with architecture by Maxwell Ayrton and interior design by George Sheringham. The dining room, bathed in soft, warm lighting, exudes an air of opulence and elegance. The stylised greyhound motif, a nod to the sport that brought everyone to this grand establishment, adorns the chairs and planters, adding a playful touch to the refined decor. The Art Deco style, a hallmark of the 1920s, is evident in the clean lines, geometric patterns, and rich colours that adorn the room. As greyhound racing gained popularity in the UK during the mid-1920s, the Wembley Stadium Club became the epitome of leisure and entertainment for the smart set. The club offered its members an unparalleled experience, combining the thrill of the sport with the allure of fine dining and luxurious surroundings. This photo captures the essence of that era, a time when greyhound racing was more than just a sport - it was a symbol of status, glamour, and excitement.
