Introduction
 |
| the Old Kings Head - Scrutton Street |
I used to work near Covent Garden and would head out to
Shoreditch for a beer after work every now and then. The first times, I walked
via Theobalds Road and Clerkenwell Road which are very traffic heavy and boring
roads until I found a pleasant and alternative way passing beautiful historic
sites and hidden residential courts. This walk might be done as a scenic or a
commute walk. Gray’s Inn Gardens however might not be accessible during bank
holidays. Things to see along the way are the Freemason's Hall, Lincoln's Inn
Fields, Gray's Inn Gardens, Brooke Court, Leather Lane, Farringdon, St John's
Lane, Smithfield Market, the Charter House, the Barbican and Bunhill Fields
cemetery. The walk takes you via Leonard Street and Scrutton Street where a
refreshment can be found at the Griffin or The Old Kings' Head. Enjoy!
