Steeped in over 600 years of rich and colourful history, Gray’s Inn is one of the renowned four Inn’s of Court right in the centre of London. Home to London’s finest legal minds since before 1388, the Inn might be best known for its place at the heart of London’s legal society but it’s far more than that.

There can be little doubt that William Shakespeare played in the magnificent Gray’s Inn Hall in the sixteenth Century and Sir Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt first met here in 1918.

During the blitz of World War Two that decimated so much of central London, several of the Hall’s most notable features were removed and preserved, including the Great Screen, reportedly built from the timbers of the flagship of the Andalucian Squadron of the Spanish Armada in 1588, and the exquisite stained glass windows, some of which date back to 1462.

So, there’s no doubting the fact that to start the next chapter of your story at Gray’s Inn will add a little historical frisson to your day but what else can you expect from this superb location?
