Mecklenburgh Square
Mecklenburgh Square

Mecklenburgh Square is a Grade II listed square in Bloomsbury, London. The Square and its garden were part of the Foundling Estate, a residential development of 1792–1825 on fields surrounding and owned by the Foundling Hospital. The Square was named in honour of King George III's Queen, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. It was begun in 1804, but was not completed until 1825.It is notable for the number of historic terraced houses that face directly onto the square and the Mecklenburgh Square Garden. Access to the garden is only permitted to resident keyholders, except when it is open to all visitors for Open Garden Squares Weekend.The garden was laid out between 1809 and 1810 as the centrepiece of the newly developed Mecklenburgh Square; buildings on the eastern side were designed by architect Joseph Kay. The 2 acres (8,100 m2) garden is made up of formal lawns, gravel paths, mature plane trees and other ornamental trees. It contains a children's playground, and a tennis court. The east side of the garden is planted with plants native to New Zealand.To the west is Coram's Fields, and to the east is Gray's Inn Road, a major local thoroughfare. Goodenough College is a postgraduate residence and educational trust on the north and south sides of the square, and operates an academic-oriented hotel on the east side. Russell Square tube station is located to the south-west of the square, and the railway termini King's Cross and St Pancras are a short walk north.Mecklenburgh Square, Brunswick Square and Coram's Fields are jointly listed Grade II on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.

Trinity Court, Gray's Inn Road
Trinity Court, Gray's Inn Road

Trinity Court, Gray's Inn Road is a 9-storey / 8 floor Art Deco residential apartment block located at 254 Gray's Inn Road, London, built in between 1934 and 1935 by Taperell and Haase architectural practice.The building comprises a total of 90 similarly sized flats. The flats were originally built as studios with a main living area with a pair of Murphy beds and built in cupboards, a separate kitchen and a bathroom, and balcony. Most have now been converted into small one bedroom flats in recent years (by having an open plan kitchen in the main living area and building a separate bedroom where the separate kitchen used to be). The name of the building comes from Holy Trinity Church, designed by Sir James Pennethorne and erected in 1837. Restored in 1880, it seated 1500 people and was in use until 1928. After the church closed, the ground was sold in 1931, and Trinity Court was built on the site a few years later. Painted in white, with contrasting balconies and windows frames decorated in bleu celeste colour, the building featured in the 1986 London-based film Mona Lisa starring Bob Hoskins., and also in the 2016 film City of Tiny Lights, with Riz Ahmed, Cush Jumbo and Billie Piper. Both films feature a character who is a high class sex worker, living in Trinity Court. Both films also make use of the original cage lift for dramatic scenes of peril. Despite its modernist and imposing Art Deco style, it does not appear on Historic England's documentation of Listed buildings. Similar Art Deco residential buildings in London include Florin Court, Cholmeley Lodge and Du Cane Court.
