Pakington & Enthoven originated as Pakington Enthoven & Grey, an architectural firm founded in London in c.1930 by Humphrey Arthur Pakington (1888-1974), Roderick Eustace Enthoven (1900-1985) and John Grey. Gray presumably withdrew from the partnership in c.1933 as by 1934 the firm is referred to as Pakington & Enthoven.
Projects by Pakington & Enthoven included the Robinson & Cleaver's store in Regent Street, London (1936); housing work for the Land Settlement Association (with R.G.S. Fidler, c.1937); an air raid shelter under a house in Upper Phillimore Gardens, London (1939); and a house in Bournemouth designed for Robinson & Cleaver (with G.I.C. Highet, c.1948).
