NOTES:
This facade was demolished to make way for the extension and refurbishment of the Royal Opera House by Dixon and Jones in 1996-2000. The remaining facade of the Floral Hall on Bow Street was incorporated into the actual opera house with the interior much aletered to serve as a cafe, bar and occasional performance space.
