Appraisal

No. 1, Langley Street, return elevation nos. 107-115 (odd), Long Acre.

This former fruit warehouse is converted to retail use at ground floor with offices above. It is an elegantly detailed, four-storey 1930s building of neo-Georgian character, faced in Portland Stone and warm red brick with Portland Stone dressings, designed by E.A. Shaw & Partners for Messrs Poupart, fruit-merchants.

The long principal elevation fronts Long Acre and falls outside the Covent Garden Conservation Area. (It is unfairly referred to as ‘self-important’ in the relevant volume of The Buildings of England ).
