The staircase provides access to Princes Gardens to the rear of the buildings on the west side of the gardens. Princes Gardens are used by Imperial College Halls of Residence. The landing comprises a form of construction known as ‘tile creasing’ - three layers of flat fired clay roofing tiles bedded in mortar.This form of construction is generally considered to have originated in about 1835 and can be found in early and mid-Victorian houses in London.
