No. 35, Mercer Street, Earlham House, and flank of 164, Shaftesbury Avenue

This side of Mercer Street between The Dials and Shaftesbury Avenue is entirely taken up by the 1970s office and residential development designed by Richard Seifert and Partners. There is a four-to-five storey elevation to the residential part – Earlham House (comprising flats nos. 1-19 consec.) – on the upper floors, accessed from an entrance in Mercer Street, above retail use at ground floor level nearest The Dials and taller five-to-six storey elevation to the office part nearest Shaftesbury Avenue – no. 164, Shaftesbury Avenue. The development presents a short, splayed elevation to The Dials and a return along the northern side of Earlham Street to the west of The Dials. The development is faced entirely in red brick.

An unlisted building which plays an understated role in defining the north-west corner of The Dials, but otherwise undistinguished architecturally, neither contributing to nor detracting from the character, appearance or significance of the Seven Dials Conservation Area.
