Gray's Inn

Fodor's Review:

Although the least architecturally interesting of the four Inns of Court and the one most damaged by German bombs in the 1940s, it still has its romantic associations. In 1594 Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors was performed for the first time in its hall—which was restored after World War II and has a fine Elizabethan screen of carved oak. You must make advance arrangements to view the hall, but the secluded and spacious gardens, first planted by Francis Bacon in 1606, are open to the public.
