Three-storey of London stock brick. The lobby on the right has a ‘Shakespeare’ mosaic floor as well as etched glazing, and the entrance on left also has a possibly Edwardian ‘Shakespeare’ mosaic floor. The old bar counter has leaf decorated console brackets; the bar back is also old but with modern changes; and the dado panelling on the walls is also old. On the right is a marble and tiled fireplace which looks old and a corner with three-sided bare wall benches and dado back.
