When first proposed, this building may have found favour with the planners because it sported a feature that would form a focal point at a slight bend in the road – a Leamington theme. Sadly, the detailed treatment produced yet another cardboard box. The ground floor was originally a branch of the Slug and Lettuce chain of bars, succeeded by Athenée Royale offering 'meat & liquor'. Agents' signs advertise A1, A3 and A4 premises to let. There are flats on the three floors above, occupied since 2004. A resident tells me that the block contains 29 flats and extends to Windsor Place. "The retail premises is a small part, now even smaller as some of it has been converted to residential."
