James Knowles's startling pair of blocks dominate local views. Built in 1860, their "French pavilion roofs are amongst the first signs of that French Renaissance Revival in London", but it's not all good: "the details are robust and tasteless; note especially the barbarous, wholly un-French, round-headed window surrounds". Grade II listed.
