Trattoria Lucia's dining room at Sunday lunchtime. One long table under red and white checked cloths with bentwood chairs on red seat pads, candles in straw-wrapped Chianti bottles, opal globe pendants above, and a cream and pink terrazzo floor with a red border. A walnut sideboard with a marble top holds a chrome coffee machine and wine bottles, under framed Italian coast paintings and family photographs. Along the right, the shopfront glass and the striped awning outside, and at the far end a wide opening to the kitchen.

What it really is Dining for 12, family kitchen behind
Front 1950s trattoria
Side North, number 4 of 19 walking the street clockwise from the north-west
Frontage 10 m
Floor area about 80 m², from the model

One of the six heroes, kept as a 1950s trattoria: a cream frame with a red riser, the name in red script on the fascia, a red and white striped awning, festoon bulbs, a menu board and potted bay trees, with tables and chairs out on the north pavement, which is 5 m wide here for them. Dining for twelve sits behind the glass, and the family kitchen behind that.

The room behind it has its own page under behind the fronts: Trattoria Lucia · dining room, 1950s Italian trattoria.

The north side at sunset, looking east along the pavement. The Albion Lounge, The Crown & Anchor and Fairbairn & Vine Wine Merchants in dark bronze fronts with lit fascias and glimpses of bar and bottles inside, then Trattoria Lucia with its red script fascia and red and white striped awning, then Hartley's Bakery. Bistro tables with green chairs and candles along the wide pavement, a bay tree in a pot, a menu board, granite setts in the foreground and the limestone grid and floating roof above.
02 · The north side at sunset
The north side straight on from above the courtyard, in summer sun. Five shopfronts left to right: The Albion Lounge, The Crown & Anchor, Fairbairn & Vine Wine Merchants, Trattoria Lucia with its red and white striped awning, and Hartley's Bakery, with cafe tables along the wide pavement. Above, the upper floor of tall bronze windows between limestone fins, a clerestory band and floating roof plates, and three slate roofs stepping, with one chimney. The lightwell's glass balustrade is in the lower left and the water bowl at the foot.
