Houses in Surrey Street
Description
Front elevation of 2-5 Surrey Street, Westminster, viewed from outside the closed Piccadilly Railway tube station. Number 2 is a three-storey building occupied by a gift shop with large windows to the front. There is a large lamp at the far end of the shop sign protruding out over the pavement. The windows to the first floor above have heavy stone block mullion surrounds. Above these windows is an ornate ledge that runs the full length of both buildings. Number 5 has two entrances. The entrance adjacent to number 2 is the main entrance to the building. This is set centrally in a large ornate window, with a similar window to the right. Below these windows is a ledge running the full length of the building. There are large ornate windows to the first floor and further windows to the roof line above the ledge. These windows are set as dormer windows. There is a second door to the building at the extreme right end, slightly open. There is a fire hydrant sign fixed to the left side of the door surround. There are several windows at street level of two different heights which show how steep the road is. Several people can be seen walking along the pavement. On the side of the road nearest the camera are several parked cars, including a Jaguar. The building visible in the distance is Australia House. These buildings have been demolished and replaced with modern buildings.
