Gray's Inn Road

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gray's Inn Road is a major road in central London, in the London Borough of Camden, and is part of the A5200 in London's congestion charge zone.

The road starts in Holborn at the A40, near Chancery Lane tube station and the boundaries of the City of London and the London Borough of Islington. From here it goes north and forms the boundary between Clerkenwell to the east and Holborn, Bloomsbury and finally St Pancras to the west. Along its course it passes the headquarters of ITN, the Legal Services Commission and the London Weather Centre. On the west side there is a green named Gray's Inn, possibly the location of the former inn itself. There is also the Charles Dickens Museum. Near the north end of the road, where it meets Argyle Street and Swinton Street, it turns into a one-way system heading towards Kings Cross station.
