Biography

Took the best part of thirty years to build his dream home on what was reckoned to be the last undeveloped bomb site left over from the Blitz in Bayswater, London. To prepare himself for the task he studied architecture and design at the Open University, then at City University, London.

The house, finally completed in 2006, was designed by Australian architect Russell Jones and comprises three, two floor flats. Initially there were problems with English Heritage over the design, but these were overcome and the building is now highly regarded in this part of London.

Was Hon. Vice-President of "Save London's Theatres Campaign" the organisation founded in 1972 as a direct response by British Equity to the alarming rate of theatre closures in and around the capital since 1945.

Studied and graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in the mid 1950s. In order to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his groups' graduation a reunion was held at Gower Street on May 7 2005. Those in attendance included Dudley Sutton, Patrick O'Connell and Valerie Singleton.

During the early 1970s, Greyn co-founded the Save London's Theatres Campaign, the pressure group that was instrumental in bringing the Theatres Trust into being. He served as its vice-chair and casework officer.

Adopted the stage name Greyn whilst training at RADA.
