Stratton Street runs round the back of Green Park Station. At the far left/northern corner, high up on the on No.15 there is a hopper that I have always admired that takes the form of a grotesque bird. I often stop to admire it, but it appears I've never taken a decent photo of it, so here it is on streetview with a screen grab below from that link:
It's a pretty impressive and unusual bit of metalwork. The building also sports some other intriguing architectural details and embellishments.
But, until last week, I had never properly looked at the red brick house at No.17 to notice that the metalwork in front of most of the windows is topped with little dragons' heads.
I need to use a better camera for things like this, sorry, but you get the gist!
It's a residential block. What's all that about then?
This reminds me of The Soup Dragon in The Clangers.
