A fine example of the former London County Council's Arts-and-Craft style fire stations, dating from 1909-11. It definitely has that air of domesticity for which the style was always striving - if you ignore the ground floor, you'd think this is a block of flats. The architect may have been W.E. Brooks. Grade II listed. It is now artists' studios.
