Houses in Queen Street
Description
Front elevation of 16-19 Queen Street, Mayfair. Queen Street runs north from Curzon Street to Charles Street. Number 17 has four storeys with a dormered attic and basement. Canted bay from first to third floor, each floor with a wrought-iron balcony. Shop front on the ground floor occupied by the Vidal Sassoon Academy. Previously a salon called Alexe Joseph, it is now a coffee shop. Sassoon opened his first salon in 1954 in London, and in the 1960s became a 'celebrity' hairdresser, with clients such as Mia Farrow and Mary Quant. An estate agency sign to the first floor reads 'Upper Part for Disposal, Frank Knight and Rutley'. To the right is an entrance to number 16, a modern building replacing one severely damaged by World War II bombing. Above the vehicular entrance is a sign for Tillings Trade Entrance. Number 18 has four storeys with a dormered mansard attic, cast-iron balcony to the first floor and a flagpole. Number 19 has four storeys, built in the mid-eighteenth century, with basement and dormered mansard. It is Grade II listed, number 1265370. A car is parked at a parking meter.
