Standard Edwardian Baroque fare, "pompous" Pevsner calls it. Built, as ever, of Portland stone, with open pediments and an octagonal tower with domes and paired columns. The original building for Bethnal Green, by Percy Robinson & W. Alban Jones, 1909-10, presents a very narrow frontage to the main road, but extends further down Patriot Square, even more so as a result of an extension in 1937-39 by E.C.P Monson. Grade II listed. It is now a hotel and flats.
