8, Buckingham Street WC2

No. 8 Buckingham Street is a terraced town house built around 1675, with later alterations, as part of Barbon's development of the York House estate. The building features a stucco-faced brick exterior and a concealed roof, standing four storeys tall with a basement and three windows across the front. The doorway is located to the left and has a panelled door set within a shallow wood architrave case, topped with an entablature and a small cornice-hood. The upper floors have flush framed sash windows that retain their glazing bars. There is a plat band above the ground floor, and the front is finished with parapet coping. Wrought iron area railings with flambé torch finials add to the exterior detail.

Inside, despite some alterations, the house retains bolection moulded panelling in the passage-hall and a panelled pilaster keystoned archway leading to the stairwell. The dog leg staircase features cut and carved strings on the lower flights and closed strings on the upper ones, with turned balusters on the lower flights (one or two per tread) and turned and twisted balusters on the upper flights, along with square newels and turned pendants. The front room on the first floor includes some bolection panelling, with remnants on the second floor, while other areas feature elements of plain panelling.
