7-57, Connaught Street W2

This is a terrace of houses built around 1828 as part of a development for the Trustees of the Bishop of London. The terrace is located on the south side of Connaught Street, in the City of Westminster. The buildings are primarily of brown brick, with the ground floor of numbers 7, 37, and 43-57 finished with channelled stucco. There are three storeys to most of the houses, although numbers 7-15, 31, 33, 55 and 57 have four. Each house originally had two bays. Number 7 has a round-arched entrance with a fanlight above a casement window to one side. Number 37 features a similar round-arched entrance with double doors and a fanlight. Houses 43-57 all feature elliptical-arched entrances with panelled doors, overlights, and sash windows, some with glazing bars. Later shop fronts are visible on the ground floor. Number 11 includes an archway leading to a mews. Most houses have balconies on the first floor. The windows are sash windows with glazing bars, set within flat-arched brick surrounds. A stucco sill band runs along the buildings with a third floor. Railings with urn finials are found at numbers 7 and 43-57.
