2 and 3, St James's Place

Nos 2 and 3 St James's Place are terrace houses that date back to around 1685. Originally built of brown brick, they were stuccoed in the early 19th century and feature a slate roof. The buildings rise four storeys and have a dormered mansard roof. Each house has a front that is three windows wide, with a square-headed doorway to the right that includes a rectangular fanlight and a six-panel door. The sash windows are nearly flush with no glazing bars and have slightly cambered heads. There are bands between the storeys and a parapet with coping, along with cast iron balconies on the first floor.

Inside, some original panelling and box cornices remain on the ground and first floors, and there is a dog leg, closed string staircase with turned balusters. A wall-mounted Windsor gas lantern is located on the front elevation between the two houses, which was installed by 1977, as evidenced by a photograph from that time in the London Picture Archive.
