Southbank House is a Grade II listed[1] office building in Lambeth, London. It was completed in 1878 to the design of Robert Stark Wilkinson to house the offices of the Doulton pottery company.
The building is a survivor of the much larger pottery works that stood around the site before closing in 1956.[2] The extant Southbank House formerly serving as the museum and art school. The building is adorned with gothic terracotta detailing such as a tympanum relief of potters. The detailing serves as a sort of public advertisement as Doulton worked in the production of architectural terracotta.[3]
