Title
Buildings in Strand
Description
View of buildings on both sides of Strand, Covent Garden, looking west from near William IV Street. On the left is a building of about eight storeys called Halifax House at 51-55 Strand. It houses a branch of Halifax Building Society. Beyond it is another building of about eight storeys with shops on the ground floor and a taller projection over the pavement. These buildings still exist. At the right is 430 Strand, at the corner 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. At the Strand corners are circular pavilions, known as "pepper pots", with three storeys and an attic with a balustrade. On the ground floor of the corner building in the foreground is clothing shop Weaver to Wearer. The triangular block was Grade II* listed in 1969; listing number 1237040. There are many pedestrians on the pavements and some on a pedestrian crossing. A cement mixer truck is parked on the road on the left and two taxis are seen in traffic.
