This impressive building with domed tower all in white stonework is a good example of the art deco style as applied to the multi storey car park. Located close to London's theatre land it was convenient, and space limitations suggested the solution of parking cars on four levels. Separate rooms were provided for chauffeurs and changeing rooms for ladies.
