Description

No. 7 King's Bench Walk is a late 17th-century building located on the east side of King's Bench Walk in the Inner Temple area. It is similar in style to No. 4 but features a blind central window and lacks a parapet on the roof. The entrance has a painted doorway topped with an open segmental pediment supported by brackets. At the basement level, there is a simple early 19th-century doorcase. The north flank wall is plain.
