five cats, four columns

Front facade of Greater London House, Hampstead Road. Designed in an Egyptian revival style by architects M. E. Collins, O. H. Collins & A. G. Porri and built in 1926-28 as a cigarette factory for the Carreras Tobacco Company.

 

The black cats are a reference to the black cat logo on Craven A cigarette packets. There are also statues of black cats standing on each side of the entrance steps, out of shot below.
