Description

The former Midland Bank is located at 196 Piccadilly in the City of Westminster. This building was constructed between 1922 and 1923 by the architect Sir Edwin Lutyens. It features a clever Wrenaissance-English Baroque design, making it a notable example of a relatively small building. The structure is made of red brick with elaborate stone dressings and has a slate roof, built on a square plan.

The bank is two storeys high and three windows wide. To the left, there is a semicircular arched entrance made of rusticated stone, which includes a mezzanine. This entrance is balanced on the right by a similar archway that encloses a niche. Between these archways, there is a stone entablature above a flush framed glazing bar sash window. The first floor features glazing bar sash windows adorned with richly carved stone festoons. A stone cornice is set below the eaves of the pyramidal slate roof, which is topped with a ball and vane.

The east return of the building also displays similar architectural details, contributing to its overall character and significance.
