7 and 8, Pelham Place

Pelham Place numbers 7 and 8 are a pair of buildings dating from 1820 to 1825, designed by Joseph Kay. They represent a continuation of Pelham Crescent, and together with numbers 9 and 9A demonstrate the original layout of Pelham Place.

Originally stuccoed, the buildings are now finished with pebbledash. They feature parapet and mansard roofs; number 7 has slate, while number 8 has new tiles. The buildings rise four storeys with an attic. The ground floor now accommodates modern shops. Above, the design is similar to Pelham Crescent, with the first and second floors each featuring large, wide, segmental bowed windows with glazing bars. A cast iron balcony runs across the first floor of both buildings; the second floor has curved balconies with iron balustrades. Number 7 retains its canopy supported by slim paired posts. A cornice tops the end floor. The third floor has three-light sash windows with a cambered head. There are two pedimented dormers in the attic.

Numbers 7, 8, 9A and 9, along with numbers 1 to 15 (consecutive) and number 14A Pelham Crescent form a significant group.
