Charing Cross Road
Over the latter years of the 19th century, Crosse &amp; Blackwell developed several buildings in Charing Cross Road, close to its Soho Square premises. In 1875-76, the company commissioned a two-storey stable complex at 111 Charing Cross Road, designed by architect Robert Lewis Roumieu. Roumieu died in 1877, but his son, Reginald St Aubyn Roumieu, trading as Roumieu &amp; Aitchison, completed a further warehouse at 151-155 Charing Cross Road (which remained in use until 1921), and in 1888 designed another warehouse at 157 Charing Cross Road (completed in 1893; in 1927, this was redeveloped as the Astoria theatre). From 1888 until the 1920s, Crosse &amp; Blackwell also had offices at 114-116 Charing Cross Road, again designed by Roumieu &amp; Aitchison.
