This is actually called Nat West’s ‘Osterley branch’ of the bank.

This building is listed in a book i own “recent english architecture 1920-1940″, published by country life. In it they list the architect as W F C Holden. It was built by the National Provincial Bank. Holden was by all accounts their chief architect having done several other commisoins for them. I don’t think he is related to charles Holden of the underground stations. The name is probably just a coincedence. Hope this is of some interest to you.
By the way, you should try and get a copy of that book. I reckon it would be right up your street!!
