The Turkey Cafe was designed by Arthur Wakerley in 1901. It has a splendid original Art Nouveau façade. It is now a smart bar/restaurant having been many things in its history, including an ice cream parlour and an optician's shop. The interior tiling, which was made by William Neatby at the Doulton Pottery in Lambeth, still exists but is obscured by modern decoration, which should at least preserve it from damage.
