Heddon House

Heddon House is a block of offices and shops located on Regent Street in the City of Westminster, built around 1910, with the northern end and center completed between 1920 and 1922. Designed by Sir Henry Tanner, it replaced a terrace originally by John Nash, of which some basement remains can still be seen. The building features a Portland stone façade and a slate roof, showcasing Beaux Arts classicism.

It stands four storeys tall, with attics and dormers, and has a rhythmic fenestration pattern of 4:12:4:12:4, with advanced center and end bays and splayed one bay corners. The ground and first floors are highlighted by pilasters and cornices, while mid to late 20th-century shop fronts have been inserted, along with a carriageway in the center bay leading to Heddon Street and New Burlington Mews.

The upper floors are adorned with architraved sash and casement windows, featuring cornices and some pediments on the second floor. The center bay is flanked by giant engaged Corinthian columns that extend through the second and third floors, supporting a continuous entablature topped with stone urns. The end bays have rusticated stonework, modified Palladian windows on the first floor, and engaged Corinthian columns on the second floor that carry entablatures with pediments.

The steep mansard roof is accented with small stone terminal domes, pedimented dormers, and a bracketed centerpiece. The roof over the center bay is decorated with bronze acroteria at the ridge crest. Additionally, the first and second floors feature cast iron balconies. Beneath number 153, there are brick barrel vaulted cellars, remnants of the Nash terrace demolished in the early 20th century, which connect to further brick and stone vaults and cellars, the only surviving parts of a brewery dating from the 17th century.
