Title
Interior of a house in Gray's Inn Road
Description
Ground-floor rear room of 117 Gray's Inn Road west side, Holborn. The house is unoccupied and the empty room retains some original features such as dado rail and decorated fire surround. The doorway to an alcove and adjoining room has been repurposed at some point as a wardrobe. The four-storey terraced house was built c1820 and is no longer extant. The site was rebuilt with a four-storey building occupied by St Mungo's, a hostel for single homeless people, until 2021. The vacant building was subsequently squatted in December 2021 by a group of homeless people in protest against the worsening housing crisis and increase in rough sleeping created by the Conservative Government's austerity measures.
