View looking along display cabinets

Hawkes and Wainer are a long established City of London Opticians. The detailing of the shop and the dark mahogany of the joinery was chosen to emphasise this, drawing parallels with the City of London Livery Halls and the interiors of the City churches. The display racks for the frames and spectacles and the mirrors and stock cupboards were built into the cabinet work incorporating a series of herms.
