The Labworth building on Canvey Island is an iconic slice of 20th-century history. Built in 1932–33 as the Canvey Island Café, it was designed by pioneering engineer Ove Arup in the modernist International style, inspired to resemble the bridge of the Queen Mary. 

Overlooking the Thames Estuary at Labworth Beach, the reinforced concrete café became a landmark of the island’s seaside heyday. After decades of decline and near demolition during sea defence works, it was granted Grade II listed status in 1996 and lovingly restored. 

Today it thrives as the Labworth Beach Cafe and Sapore Italian Reaturant, celebrating both its architectural pedigree and Canvey’s rich coastal heritage.
