A sumptuous essay in Venetian Gothic. At each end are marvellous oriels culminating in turrets with spiky projections (Image]). The first floor has a row of large windows with stripy pointed arches. By Edward Salomons, 1870-71. Grade II* listed. It is now a bar and restaurant, and possibly a club too, though, sadly, no longer one likely to be frequented by prodigiously-whiskered Victorian gents.
