Spread Eagle Public House

WANDSWORTH HIGH STREET SW18 1. 5033 (south side) 'Spread Eagle' public house TQ 2574 12/17 II 2. A late 19th Century public house with a good interior. It is of 3-storeys comprising a 4-bay centre flanked by advanced quoined end-pavilions. Red brick with stone dressings and tiled roof. Above stone stallrisers a glazed ground floor of leaded lights is framed by a fanciful pilaster order supporting the fascia. An iron and glass porch projects from the main entrance. The upper floors carry a Flemish Renaissance-type reticulation of pilasters and bandcourses, framing the windows and rising to discontinuous cornices. The 2 exterior angles of each end-pavilion carry fanciful stumpy obelisks. The west pavilion is crowned by a 4-storey Dutch gable with sunflower plaques in moulded brick. In the interior the saloon bar is backed by a wall of etched mirror-glass panels with delicate ribbon and foliage motifs, the whole giving a brilliant effect. The good modern canopy over the counter houses glass panels from a roof light painted with birds and foliage.
