10, ST JAMES'S STREET SW1 (See details for further address information)

No. 10 St. James's Street, which includes Nos. 20 and 21 King Street, was originally built as the St. James's Bazaar in 1832 by Sir James Pennethorne. This neo-classical building has undergone alterations in 1897, which included heightening, and in 1914. It is a large corner block, finished in stucco with a slate roof, standing four storeys tall with dormered attics. The façade features three windows facing St. James's Street and a long return of nine windows on King Street. The ground floor is rusticated with quoins, and there is a central Greek Doric porch on St. James's Street, which has a canted bay above, added in 1881, complete with a bracketed cornice. The windows are recessed glazing bar sash windows, with semicircular arched windows on the first floor that have balustrades. Moulded strings separate the floors, and there is a main dentil and bracket cornice with a pediment across the third floor. Above this, there is a cornice and blocking course with iron railings leading to the attic storey. The cornice and strings continue around to the King Street elevation, which features a broad Tuscan portico with a balustraded parapet. The first floor windows are arcaded with pilaster jambs, some of which are blind, and there is a cast iron patterned balcony railing across the first floor. The attic storey has pairs of semi-circular arched architraved windows with cast iron balconettes.
