Title
Buildings in Gray's Inn Road
Description
Gray's Inn Road looking north towards the junction with Ampton Street, King's Cross. 270-274 is a terrace of nineteenth-century buildings with shops at pavement level. 274 Gray's Inn Road on the corner appears to be in poor condition, with cracks to the render and scaffolding indicating building work in progress. It has an empty shop window and fascia with traces of removed lettering. Dawn Flowers at 272 is also empty and its windows covered with flyposters advertising The Forum and the Chelsea Antique Market. 270 is a vacant newsagents and tobacconists, also heavily flyposted. The junction with Ampton Street is controlled with pre-1970s SGE traffic lights, and a billboard poster advertising Hennessy Cognac is visible just beyond. The terraced housing on Ampton Street is still extant and lies within the Bloomsbury Conservation Area. In contrast 270-274 Gray's Inn Road and adjoining buildings up to 258 were demolished and the area redeveloped in 1983 as Calthorpe Community Garden, still extant in 2021.
