Description

The Gloucester Arms Public House is a corner public house located at No. 5 Ivor Place in the City of Westminster. It dates from around 1840 to 1850, with alterations from about 1820. Originally part of a terrace house on the Portman Estate, it may have been built as a public house or converted for that purpose during the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of stock brick with a channelled stucco ground floor and has a slab roof. It stands four storeys high and is two windows wide, featuring a slightly recessed two-storey wing and a two-window wide return front to Gloucester Place.

The public house has a pilastered frontage on Ivor Place, complete with an entablature-fascia, and includes a bar window flanked by doorways. On the Gloucester Place front, there are two segmental header ground floor windows with eared architraves and keyblocks. The upper floors on both fronts have recessed glazing bar sashes set beneath flat gauged arches. The parapet on Ivor Place is topped with stone coping, while the Gloucester Place side features stucco quoins and a stucco band finish at the parapet.
