To the left of the main entrance on Gloucester Place is this stone relief by Eric Gill. It shows a female figure (possibly an angel?) attended by two smaller human figures bearing ewer, basin and towel. The whole building is listed grade II (list entry 1323725) as 'one of the most impressive Moderne style complexes of flats built in central London'.
