Description
Clement House is an office building constructed between 1909 and 1911 by Sir John Burnet. It features Portland stone ashlar cladding, a steel frame, and a slate roof. The design incorporates a subtle and restrained use of classical motifs, including figure sculpture, and is part of the Aldwych-Kingsway development. The building has six storeys plus an attic storey and a dormered mansard, with a façade that is seven windows wide and curves convexly along the line of Aldwych. The ground floor features a central entrance framed by coupled Doric columns, with flanking windows that enhance the depth and shadow created by the colonnade, thanks to the dark bronze detailing of the window and door frames. The upper floors have simplified classical detailing around the bronze casement windows, and there is a sharply profiled main entablature below the set-back attic storey. High relief carved figures are arranged in a triangular composition on the upper floors.
Local climate
Clement House sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 95% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 98% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 57% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
