Lamp post on the corner of Chandos Place and Bedford Street

The lamp post at the corner of Chandos Place and Bedford Street is a gas street light dating from 1910. It features a column with an Upright Rochester lantern, likely manufactured by William Sugg and Company Limited around 1930.

The lamp post is made of cast iron and has a glazed lantern constructed from iron, spun copper, and enamelled steel. The column is a tapering, fluted design identified as model 1275 in the William Sugg catalogue, known as the 'Eddystone'. The base of the column displays the Westminster City Council crest on one side and a registration plaque with the number 7412. The opposite side features the royal cypher G V R and the date 1910.

The lantern includes a circular, weatherproof chimney above a teardrop-shaped glass enclosure, which has a drainage hole at its base. Inside the enclosure is a six-mantle burner and a Horstmann automatic gas controller, likely from the mid-20th century. The main body of the lantern is supported by a pair of upright arms that extend at right angles from the cast iron control clock box, leading to a horizontal enamelled steel reflector that supplies gas to the burner. These arms retain their original decorative ironwork scrolls, typical of interwar Rochester lanterns, although part of one scroll is missing.
