London Stories


Is this the tallest, thinnest door in London? On Flitcroft Street near Seven Dials (Covent Garden) is this rather imposing green door, I don't know what's behind it (neither did Shaky!), but it certainly looks the part from the alley outside.

Apparently opened in 1904, this building was once home to the Elms Lesters Painting Rooms and was used to store and produce theatre set scenery and backdrops, I guess they needed this kind of door to wheel out large theatre sets?
