The character of Holborn
High Holborn is a wide, fast-moving artery that turns to a crawl at Holborn Circus, where five roads meet without a simple priority. Lincoln's Inn Fields and the courts behind Gray's Inn Road are gated and car-free inside; a chauffeur waits at the relevant gate and you walk the last short stretch. Kingsway's bus lanes limit where a car can sit, so most holding happens on the surrounding side streets rather than the main road.
- Lincoln's Inn and Gray's Inn are gated and car-free inside — we wait at the entrance.
- Holborn Circus is congested through the morning; we route around it where possible.
- Kingsway's bus lanes restrict kerbside waiting — the car holds on a side street instead.
- Chambers with an early court start often need a collection before eight — plan ahead.
