An Overview of the Temporary Annexe to Westminster Abbey for the 1937 Coronation of King George VI This photograph provides an aerial view of the temporary annexe constructed at Westminster Abbey for the coronation of King George VI in 1937. The annexe, designed by Sir James West, was a modernist addition to the historic Abbey, blending steel framing and wood infilling, finished externally in plaster to harmonize with the stonework of the Abbey. The structure, which had been added to the Abbey for each coronation since that of King William IV in 1831, featured one entrance for the King and Queen and another for the peers and peeresses. Inside, there was a grand hall, two smaller halls, and Royal retiring rooms. Fine tapestries lent by the Duke of Buccleuch and Lord Duveen adorned the interior walls, adding an air of elegance and grandeur. The temporary annexe was a crucial component of the coronation preparations, accommodating the arrival and dispersal of the Coronation procession. The overhead impression showcases the impressive scale of the construction, which seamlessly integrated with the historic Abbey while providing the necessary modern facilities for this significant event in British history.
