The Lab is a fine example and notable Art Deco building which dates to the 1930's forming part of the New River Head, which was the headquarters of the Metropolitan Water Board.
Designed by the architect John Murray Easton who, in 1955 was awarded the Royal gold medal for his contribution to architecture by the Royal Institute of British Architects on behalf of the British monarch, this Grade II listed building is iconic as well as one of the most recognised in the area.
It incorporates many of the distinguished qualities associated with Art Deco such as vertical clean lines, large windows, bold geometric forms, classical elements and rich materials. Art Deco is associated with glamour, luxury and fine craftsmanship, in fact nothing about Art Deco was inexpensive, it was a celebration of modernity and progress.
The buildings entrance is adorned by a glamorous and wide, galleried circular staircase with the ceiling above retaining the original artwork of Aquarius the water carrier of Greek mythology and impressive constellation.
Located on the first floor with a Southerly aspect, it has exceptionally high ceilings with the accommodation comprising a reception room with a mezzanine offering excellent storage space, a separate kitchen, principal bedroom with ensuite bathroom and second bedroom and guest shower room.
