Two buildings looking onto Kingsway. Adelaide Mansions, on the left, was built in 1873, designed by local architect Thomas Lainson. Grade II listed - see https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1205849?section=official-listing. 35 - 38 Adelaide Crescent, on the right, is part of the grand development of Adelaide Crescent, originally designed by Decimus Burton in 1830 but with only limited development initially, with final construction to an altered design (including this part) not taking place until 1850-60. The two sides are both Grade II* listed, but separately - for this, the western, side see https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1187537?section=official-listing.
