High Holborn

Staple Inn, with its distinctive timber-framed façade, on the south side of High Holborn.

High Holborn (pronounced /ˈhoʊbɚn/ HOH-bərn) is a road in Holborn, central London, which forms part of the A40. It starts in the west as a turn off Charing Cross Road, near St Giles Circus, and runs past the Kingsway and Southampton Row, and becomes Holborn at its eastern junction with Gray's Inn Road.

The nearest London Underground stations are Tottenham Court Road, Holborn, and Chancery Lane, all on the Central line which runs beneath High Holborn.

The street is mentioned in Adrian Mitchell's poem Celia, Celia:

When I am sad and weary
When I think all hope has gone
When I walk along High Holborn
I think of you with nothing on
