8-12, YORK GATE NW1 (See details for further address information)

Nos 8 to 12 York Gate is a unified terrace block built between 1821 and 1822 by John Nash as part of his Regent's Park Crown Estate development. The building has been gutted and rebuilt internally as one unit. It features a stucco exterior and a slate roof. The symmetrical elevation mirrors and balances Nos 1 to 5, with end pavilions flanking a giant Ionic colonnade. The structure stands four storeys tall, including an attic storey, and consists of eleven windows across its front.

The ground floor has a rusticated podium with semi-circular windows set in a deep arcade between the end pavilions, which each have a tripartite segmental arched window. The first and second floors have glazing bar sash windows set within a giant engaged colonnade of the Illissian Ionic order. The end pavilions feature tall tripartite sash windows on the first floor with segmental arched blind lunettes, and the second floor has eared architrave sash windows. The attic has semicircular arched blind-headed windows and thermal windows in the pavilions.

Above the ground floor is a cornice and a balustraded parapet. There is a continuous plain frieze and cornice over the second floor, along with an attic cornice and blocking course. The three window returns have large enclosed porches with Greek Doric columns in antis. The rear of the building has been rebuilt. The first-floor windows of the pavilions on the front are adorned with anthemion-patterned cast iron balconettes, and the area railings feature Grecian palmette finials. York Gate was opened up by Nash to create a vista of Hardwick's new church of St Mary on Marylebone Road.
