34 And 36, Oxford Street W1

Nos 34 and 36 on Oxford Street are commercial premises built in 1912 by Metcalfe and Grieg. The building features a Portland stone façade and a slate roof, showcasing an Arts and Crafts style with a strong vertical emphasis similar to the work of Treadwell and Martin. It rises six storeys to a shaped gable attic and has a broad single bay front. The ground floor and first floor, or mezzanine, have a mid-20th century altered shop front and upper display window, framed by a full-width, label-moulded semi-elliptical arch. The display window is both mullioned and transomed.

A dentilled cornice with foliated and masked corbels separates the upper floors from the arch, with shafts rising from it to the parapet, dividing the front into three sections. The central section features a through-storey canted oriel with stone mullioned and transomed lights, supported by carved raised corbels that break into the flat arch of a three-light second-floor window. Small two-light windows flank the oriel. The parapet, which has projecting capping and moulding crowning the shafts, sweeps up to the shafted gable, which contains a three-light lunette and is finished with an open segmental pediment.
