Built as a department store for Marshall
and Snelgrove. Converted in 1970, by the
architectural practice of Ted Levy, Benjamin and
Partners, into a hotel. The conversion
included the addition of a mansard roof. In 2011
there are retail outlets at street level.
An O2 branch sits in the location of the former
Marshall and Snelgrove entrance. The
Britannia Hotel, offering 214 bedrooms, occupies
the upper floors. Its entrance is on the
side down an alleyway.
