The Postcode
WC1X is a narrow postcode — Gray’s Inn Road is the main spine, with residential streets feeding off both sides. Swinton Street, Ampton Street, the Calthorpe Estate. It borders King’s Cross to the north and Bloomsbury to the south.
Gray’s Inn — one of the four Inns of Court — sits on Gray’s Inn Road itself, a centuries-old legal institution whose members are barristers and judges. The legal profession has a particular relationship with formal wear. Suits worn daily, gowns and court dress for chambers, quality garments that need proper care.
WC1X more broadly draws a mix of legal professionals, hospital workers from the nearby Royal Free and UCLH facilities, and residents in the estates and period housing between Gray’s Inn Road and King’s Cross.
