Side elevation of 276 Gray's Inn Road at the junction with Ampton Street, King's Cross. 276 is a three-storey building with an off licence, Gray's Inn Cellars, selling beers, wines, spirits, minerals and tobacco. It has an advert in its Ampton Street window for Courage Light Ale and there are billboard posters above the window for Lemon Hart rum, Yellow Pages telephone directory, Silk Cut cigarettes and The Max Bygraves Show at Victoria Palace. 276 also has a nineteenth-century side doorway on Ampton Street, with lintel and fanlight. There is a telephone junction box on the pavement at the corner, and just visible across Gray's Inn Road is a Camden Council block of flats, part of Sidmouth Street Estate. 276 Gray's Inn Road is still extant with a corner shop, although its original side doorway on Ampton Street has been replaced.
