Description
Kingsway Chambers is a building located on Kingsway in Camden, constructed in 1913 by Metcalf and Greig. This narrow-fronted structure features a Portland stone facade and is designed in the Arts & Crafts style. It consists of eight storeys and three bays. The shop front has been altered in the late 20th century with the addition of plate glass.
The upper floors showcase windows that are designed with transoms and mullions, featuring small leaded panes. On the first floor, there are three shallow arch arcaded windows, topped with a modillion cornice supported by scrolled brackets to delineate the bays. The central bay includes a prominent five-light window on the second floor, while the third floor features a lunette window with carved decoration on the apron and spandrels. The fourth, fifth, and sixth floors are highlighted by a five-light bowed oriel window, which is topped by a gable that also contains a five-light window. This gable is flanked by tall chimney-like features that rise above the roofline, with an enriched apex and upswept eaves that extend over the outer bays, which also have similar chimney-like features at the corners.
In the outer bays, there are two-light windows on each floor, transitioning to three-light lunettes with enriched heads, carved cartouche aprons, and projecting segmental cornice hoods on decorated brackets by the sixth floor. The interior has not been inspected.
