Description
No. 18 Suffolk Street is the rear elevation of the Theatre Royal Haymarket, built around 1821 by John Nash. The building features a stucco exterior and a slate roof, standing three storeys tall with a dormered mansard. It is two windows wide, with a channelled ground floor that includes a flanking doorway supported by consoles on pilaster strips, which carry breaks in the course. There are two small central windows with voussoired flat arches. The first floor has a single large two-light window adorned with shell and fan moulding beneath a blind lunette, which is set under an archivolt on imposts. The top floor has two recessed glazing bar sashes, and there is a cornice below the parapet. The area is enclosed by spear head railings.
