=== Gatehouse ===

The present gatehouse, on [[Fleet Street]] on the northern boundary of the Inn, was built in 1684 by [[Christopher Wren|Sir Christopher Wren]]. It replaced an earlier one which had been allowed to decay until it had to be demolished.<ref>Bellot (1902), p. 269</ref> It leads into Middle Temple Lane, which proceeds southwards through the Inn to end at gates on the [[Victoria Embankment]], south of the Temple. All of the buildings in the Temple lying west of the lane belong to Middle Temple; the buildings to the east belong to one Inn or the other.
