The Condor House, at 5-14 St. Paul's Churchyard in London, stands directly across the street from St. Paul's Cathedral.

Built around 1900 as the Pawson and Leaf's warehouse, Condor House (as it is now known) is part of the St. Paul's Cathedral Conservation District. Source: (visit link)

Over the main entrance door at 10 Condor House, the City of London Coat of Arms are carved from Portland Stone. On the left is a coloured cartouche of the the Royal Arms of England and on the right is a cartouche of the Royal Arms of Scotland.

The rest of the elaborate facade that wraps around the building features multiple different coats of arms spaced evenly around the building belonging to entities of the British empire. Along Godliman Street, we have been able to identify the CoA of the Canadian provinces of Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Newfoundland, and Manitoba. Other empire possessions' CoA we could identify are those of Jamaica, British North Borneo, and the Australian province of New South Wales.

We were unable to discover any more information online about who those various Coats of Arms we could not identify represent.

For purposes of a visit, a personally-obtained photograph of either any one of the Coats of Arms or the facade of the building will do.
