The ground floor has projecting shopfronts supported by pilasters and griffin caryatids that hold up a fascia-entablature. The shop windows are designed with columnette mullions and traceried heads, and there are recessed shop doorways with fanlights. A modern glazed canopy extends over the pavement. This building is included for its group value with Nos 50 to 58 (even) and Nos 2 and 4 Kings Road.
