The plaque on the wall (just to the left of the white doorway) says that the building was a transformer station for the tramway system; it was designed by Vincent Harris, an architect with London County Council, and built in 1905-7. The building is currently occupied by the Tramshed restaurant and the CͶB Gallery.
