Thavie’s Inn
St Paul’s from the south west in 1896
Thavie’s Inn was a former Inn of Chancery, associated with Lincoln’s Inn, established near the site of the present side street and office block still known as Thavies Inn Buildings.

Thavie’s Inn is one of the earliest Inns of Chancery on record, both by date of establishment and dissolution. It remains a well-known City of London landmark, where Lloyd’s Bank is situated, on the opposite side of Holborn Circus from Ely Place.

Lincoln’s Inn sold Thavie’s Inn for redevelopment in 1785, the proceeds being used to erect ’Stone Buildings’.
