No this one was definitely by Leslie H Kemp - there are records of him talking about the process of working with Shipman & King. Plasterwork and interior design were by Mollo & Egan.

Architect could be David Evelyn Nye, as it’s very similar to the work he did for the Bancroft’s at the Embassy, Peterborough.
