This staircase has small passing places or balconies on the mid flight landings and the main floor landings. I haven’t seen this before and it makes a very sweet detail – letting people pause on the flight to see up and down.
The listing for the building states that it was built “1773- 75 as part of the Portland Estate development probably by John White, in partnership with the plasterer Thomas Collins (both associates of Sir William Chambers).”
The balustrade has had a little “help” added, presumably the long run along the landing was a little wobbly.
