Anything Slaughter and May can do, SJ Berwin can do better. Following our revelation that Slaughter and May’s Austral House office featured in The Italian Job, we can now reveal that SJ Berwin’s home at 222 Grays Inn Road is mentioned in Bill Bryson’s book Notes from a Small Island.
We know this thanks to an e-mail from the firm’s James Condliffe, who, appropriately enough, is a property solicitor. Bryson used to work in the building when it was occupied by The Times and describes it in his book as being occupied by a company he has never heard of.
