Squats
In 1977, five blocks of empty flats were squatted on Huntley Street by the Squatters Action Council. 160 people moved in and resisted eviction, until they were removed by an operation of 650 police in August 1978.[3][4]
Chenies Street Chambers
At the southern end on the western side is Chenies Street Chambers which once had its entrance in Chenies Street. Following bombing during the Second World War, the main entrance to the building is now in Huntley Street.[5] The building was originally designed as flats for single professional women, but is now social housing.[6]
