Gray's Inn, Middlesex

Gray's Inn is an Inn of Court in Holborn, Middlesex. Its origins lie in the 1234 decree by Henry III that no institutes of legal education could exist in the City of London, which led to secular lawyers moving to Holborn. Gray’s Inn’s estate consists of Gray's Inn Hall, the Treasury Office, the Library, Chapel and commercial and residential lettings. Gray's Inn, along with the three other Inns of Court, is recognised as being among the world's most prestigious professional bodies of judges and lawyers. The Inn is known for its gardens (the "Walks"), which have existed since at least 1597. It is within the council area of Camden.
