Cecilia Rexworthy introduces the work of Watts & Co as the firm celebrates its 150th anniversary.
If you wander past Westminster Abbey, and through the mellow stone archway of Dean’s Yard, through the throng of jostling pupils of nearby Westminster School, and onto Tufton Street, your eye may casually stray into an open doorway.

Amid the buildings of Church and State nestles the long-established (but still relatively unknown) Watts & Co.
