Title
Corner of Gray's Inn Road and Ampton Street
Description
Gray's Inn Road at the junction with Ampton Street, King's Cross, looking north. On the corner is 276 Gray's Inn Road, a three-storey building with an off licence, The Four Vintners, specialist wine merchants. The Sandeman sherry logo of a cloaked and hatted man is on the Gray's Inn Road side of the shop. Next door at 278 is Aquarius, a massage salon and sauna. The building at 280 was damaged beyond repair by World War II bombing and the resulting space is boarded over with posters advertising Saxa salt, Pagan Man aftershave and the Leprosy Mission. Beyond that at 282 Grays's Inn Road is a shop selling office equipment. There is also a billboard on the Ampton Street side of 276, with a poster advertising Worthington E beer. A Ford Escort and a Ford Grenada estate wait at the Mellor traffic lights, designed in 1973. Beyond in Ampton Street is a terrace of three-storey houses built c1819-23 by Thomas Cubitt and which is Grade II listed, listing number 1246997 and in the Bloomsbury Conservation Area. All buildings are still extant as of 2021 and the empty site at 280 Gray's Inn Road rebuilt.
