Probably early C18.
King's Bench Walk takes its name from the King's Bench Office (the office of the chief clerk or master of the Court of King's Bench) which was sited in the Inner Temple from 1621. The original buildings which lined the inn's eastern boundary with Whitefriars were constructed in the 16th and early 17th century but destroyed in the Great Fire of London of 1666, which was finally brought under control in precincts of the Inner Temple. King's Bench Walk was rebuilt, only to be destroyed in another fire 11 years later, in 1677.
