Other work in London includes: An allegorical group on the National Westminster Bank, 1 Prince's Street (the north-east corner of the Bank junction) (1929-32). Victorian Web have images and an assessment.  This group includes a magic square - the second we have found in London - see Haines House Bloomsbury for the other. Gillick also created the lovely Asia and Britannia caryatids on the Brazilian Embassy, Cockspur Street (1918). We've found references to work on the Royal Academy façade, figures on Marble Arch and also at Selfridges but we have no specifics.
