Built of red brick with terracotta and faience dressings and a slated roof, this is a two-storey building of three bays facing Westgate. The outer bays have large, shaped pediments, the central bay having a small segmental pediment; these three pediments feature raised gold lettering on terracotta scrolls reading ‘Elephant and Castle’. They are all above the blocking course of an entablature with frieze. The various first-floor windows are pedimented, mostly with open-based segmental pediments. The ground- floor frontage features glazed brown tiles with pilasters, spandrels and frieze ornamented in gold and green. The entrance is to the central bay and is round-arched, the flanking bays having wide, four-centred arches.
