EC1, Holborn, Barnard’s Inn

The blue plaque can be seen in our photo to the right of the entrance. To see the large slate plaque you must walk into the alleyway, around a few bends and find the courtyard, where you can also see Barnard's Inn Hall - a rare survivor from the 1666 Great Fire, which was used by Mercers' School 1894 -1959.

Londonist's post about Barnard's Inn Hall has a number of photos.
