Title
Building in Strand
Description
View of a building on the north side of Strand, Covent Garden, at the junction with Adelaide Street. Ahead is a pair of circular buildings at 448 and 449 Strand. Between them and to the left in Adelaide Street, the building is scaffolded. At the left, the scaffolded is anchored into a temporary concrete buttress. This was for work by Frederick Gibberd & Partners that included modernised premises for Coutts Bank, the main occupant. Signs for building company McAlpine hangs from number 449 and the scaffolding. A construction crane towers over the site. These form part of a triangular island block of shops and offices between Strand, Adelaide Street and William IV Street (formerly King William Street). It was built in 1830-32 as part of the West Strand Improvements, planned by architect John Nash and executed by William Herbert. Number 448-449 are circular corner pavilions, known as "pepper pots", with three storeys and an attic with a balustrade. The triangular block was Grade II* listed in 1969; listing number 1237040. Several pedestrians can be seen including some at a bus stop. A car and a truck are passing.
