2-26, Queenstown Road SW8

This is a mid-to-late 19th-century shopping parade, located on Queenstown Road. The parade consists of eleven buildings, numbered 2 to 26 (even), built in the Gothic style. Each building is generally two storeys high with an attic, featuring two windows. However, the buildings at each end, and those flanking the central section, are taller, with a cross-gabled design and a single, wide window. The buildings are constructed of stock brick with stone dressings, and have slated mansard roofs with tall, stone-faced gabled dormers. The windows are paired, pointed, and set under hoodmoulds with leafy stops and leaf patterns in the spandrels. The taller sections incorporate windows with carved panels depicting interlaced beasts and foliage in a medieval style, situated between the floors. They also feature stiff leaf capitals to the first-floor jambs and pilaster mullions. The ground floor projects forward and features stone-coped parapets above the shop fronts, which are divided by pilasters. Numbers 6 and 24 have largely original features, including pedimented entrances and a row of small-paned glazing above the shop fronts. The other shop fronts have been altered to varying degrees.
