The elevation to George IV Bridge comprises a tall, nine-bay central block, flanked by three-bay, lower-height wings. The central seven bays are separated by plain pilasters and each bay has a sculptured allegorical figure in a niche, with carved roundel above. The central entrance has a tall, moulded architrave with a carved Royal Arms above the door. Each bay of the lower flanking wings and the side return has a tall ground floor window and a carved panel just below the cornice.
