Description

The steps and parapets with lamps at the west end of King Charles Street in the City of Westminster were built around 1873. They are part of the Foreign Office designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, although their design may be attributed to Mathew Digby Wyatt due to their connection with St James's Park. The structure features a broad flight of steps made of York stone, leading down to the park, with a landing and flanking parapets made of Portland stone. The parapets are adorned with highly ornate pierced scrollwork Italianate carvings beneath the coping, and they are topped with ornamental wrought iron lamps.
