Description

The National Westminster Bank, built in 1867, is an Italianate office building located at 49 Broadway in Stratford. It stands three storeys tall and features a six-window-wide façade constructed of yellow stock brick with stone dressings. The ground floor is marked by engaged Doric columns that support a dentilled cornice above a continuous panelled stone pedestal. The segmental-headed windows between the columns are adorned with scrolled keystones. On the first floor, the windows are flanked by Corinthian pilasters and topped with bracketed open pediments. The second floor has openings with keyed segmental heads and eared architraves, along with stone cill bands. The building is finished with a bracketed cornice and a parapet.

National Westminster Bank sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 96% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 99% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 52% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
