This purpose built unit forms part of a terrace of commercial buildings located close to Doyle's Corner, an important intersection on the North Circular Road. It makes a significant contribution to the architectural character of the area.

The centrepiece of the terrace, Nos. 369-371 North Circular Road, is provided with an impressive pedimented gable with yellow terracotta panels.
