Staple Inn Holborn, this spectacular black and white half-timbered structure overlooks
Staple Inn Holborn, this spectacular black and white half-timbered structure overlooks High Holborn, one of central Londons few surviving Tudor buildings. It was once the wool staple, where wool was weighed and taxed. Beneath the overhanging frontage, the shops at street level have the feel of the 19th century, the courtyard a secluded haven away from the busy capital.
