Embassy Court, Famous Grade 11 Listed, Art Deco Flats Built 1930s, Now restored to the glory of its heyday when Long banks of windows and balconies connected interior spaces with the vista of sea and beach beyond. Interconnecting rooms in light colours, unadorned walls and cork flooring created a sense of openness. Central services freed residents from the burden of domestic tasks. Sun parlours gave them a sense of well-being.
Away from the trials of London, well-heeled commuters and locals, many celebrities, were at the centre of the pleasures that Brighton offered. Alongside the town's famous regency terraces, the exuberant Royal Pavilion and the two Victorian piers, Embassy Court continued the celebration of seaside vitality.
Amongst the more famous residents known to have lived at Embassy Court were the actors Laurence Olivier, Rex Harrison and Diana Dors and the writer Graham Greene, whose novel Brighton Rock helped establish his reputation as a significant 20th century novelist. No doubt, these famous residents attracted famous friends. It is easy to imagine Embassy Court, in its heyday, as the setting for a Noel Coward play.
