Dating back to the 16th century, this historic building is a rare survivor of Tudor architecture in Central London, with its intricate wooden beams and frames that transport us back to the Elizabethan era.

Staple Inn's survival is a testament to the importance of preserving historical structures for future generations. It serves as a reminder of London's rich history and the architectural wonders that can still be found in the city's streets.
