Woollahra, The Light Brigade Hotel

The Light Brigade Hotel is located on the corner of Oxford Street and Jersey Road, in the eastern suburb of Woollahra, bordering Paddington. It was designed by Sidney Warden and built in 1939 in the art deco architectural style. The pub is named after the famous British light cavalry immortalised by the "Charge of the Light Brigade" against Russian forces during the Battle of Balaclava on 25 October 1854 in the Crimean War.

  6. Impressive corner identity. The building seems to nose its way into the street.
