Appraisal

Nos. 6 and 8, Monmouth Street

A pair of four-storey buildings of the 1890s, faced in red brick with Portland Stone dressings, forming a group with the Covent Garden Hotel adjacent.

No. 8 forms part of the adjoining hotel. It was originally a public house but was closed down during the Great War, it is said, because it was illicitly supplying military patients in the hospital with alcohol. The original pub front is reinstated as a shop. The old architectural surround, and window joinery is of an appropriate Victorian character. The roof and semi-circular topped mansard windows have also been restored and are a great improvement.

Although unlisted, the building is of considerable townscape value contributing positively to the character, appearance and significance of the Seven Dials Conservation Area.

The surround of the original pub front survives, but has been mutilated. It should be restored. The fine brickwork and terracotta of the upper storeys would benefit from careful cleaning.
