Entrance Gates To New Park

The entrance gates to New Park, located on the south side of Leicester Street, were built between 1907 and 1909 but are designed in a mid-18th century style. They feature fine wrought iron gates, including two central carriageway gates that are flanked by tall iron piers adorned with shields and finials. The outer pedestrian gates have overthrows and are supported by tall polygonal stone piers with rusticated plinths, moulded cornices, and caps. Wrought iron lamp brackets sit atop the piers.

These gates are part of a group that includes Nos 1 to 21 (odd), Nos 25 and 27, Nos 1 to 3 (consecutive) Leicester Yard, as well as the entrance gates and bandstand in New Park, The Golden Fleece Public House, and Nos 36A and 38 across the street. Nos 21, 25, The Golden Fleece Public House, and Nos 36A and 38 are recognized as buildings of local interest.
