238 Gray's Inn Rd / WC1X

Dilapidated, but Grade II listed, single-storey building at 238 Gray's Inn Road. With round-arched door and windows, channelled stucco, vermiculated voussoirs. Built c.1820-1826 by N Stallwood. I presume the cast-iron canopy is a later addition. Most recently occupied by Occupy London, from 1976 to 2005 by a bed makers and cafe, used by a hospital before that. Now vacant, owned by London Borough of Camden.
