Flank of nos. 24-26, Shelton Street

The building at the north-western end of the north-eastern side of Langley Street comprises the three-bay return elevation to nos. 24-26, Shelton Street (See under Shelton Street).

This austere but handsome early-19^th century London Stock brick building is a prominent survival of the former Wood Yard Brewery complex. Originally of three storeys, the building has been substantially extended by the addition of a double height storey, with huge painted steel Crittal windows above the original strongly expressed moulded-brick classical cornice and frieze.

The three-bay return elevation to Langley Street has a painted steel rail extending along the elevation below the cornice and frieze, hinting at the former industrial use. Well-converted to accommodate the London Film School in the 1970s, the works then maintained the strong original architectural character. The brickwork, commendably, remains uncleaned. The historic green paintwork of the window and door joinery enhances this character.

This is a building of particular special architectural and historic interest and significance and of townscape value contributing positively to the character, appearance and significance of the Covent Garden Conservation Area.
