The Yorkshire Grey

The Yorkshire Grey is a public house and restaurant on the corner of Grays Inn Road and Theobald's Road in Bloomsbury, Camden, London, situated to the north of Gray's Inn.

History

The pub was established in 1676 and was historically in the county of Middlesex.[1] The Amalgamated Society of Gentleman's Servants once met at The Yorkshire Grey inn in the late 18th century, although Hart Street is mentioned as the location and it is possibly a different pub.[1] In 1848 it was owned by an Oliver Waterloo King.[2] It serves Scottish and Japanese whiskies and traditional English pub grub.[3]

There were also public houses of the same name in Cambridge in the 19th century at 64 King Street and in Sheffield, which closed in 2006.
