HWW German Gymnasium London England 8th August 2024

Despite the name the German Gymnasium isn't a school but a restaurant in the now trendy area behind Kings Cross station in London. The roof of St Pancras railway station is just visible far left.

It was designed by Edward Gruning and was in fact England's first purpose-built gymnasium, with funding coming solely from London's German community. It was built in 1865 for the German Gymnastics Society and hosted London's first indoor Olympic Games, back in 1866.

HWW to everyone. Enjoy the day.
