The Old Bailey or Central Criminal Court has public galleries where you can go & see a trial take place. The inscription on the great court house reads "Punish the wrong doer and protect the children of the poor" It is the most important court in all of Britian & stands on the site of the notorious Newgate Prison. The lady standing a top holds the scales of justice in one hand & the sword of freedom in the other, she faces the area where the condemned were executed. Some famous trials include OSCAR WILD 1895 DR. CRIPPIN 1910 & PETER SUTCLIFFE 1981. Please make sure you enter by the public entrance as a tourist & not the main entrance as a condemned to be prisoner!!!

 Legal London by CallavettaLeave a Comment Directions: Exit the Undergound from the Temple stop and hang a right. Best time to visit is Saturday (the Temple tube stop is closed on Sunday) when the streets are empty and you have the area nearly to yourself

 The Bailey by KennetRose
This one is down a narrow street close to St Pauls called Old Bailey, a name which reflects its strategic position on the former city walls. Here was Newgate prison, outside which many a wretch was publicly hanged and whose cells are so graphically described in Great Expectations.
In the early part of the 20th century a breathless Britain would follow the dramas that took place at the Bailey to see if the culprit would swing, and from here today bank robbers are sent for a "lagging" on "The Island" - a prison sentence in one of the high-security prisons on the Isle of Wight - as well as seeing the trials of high-profile murderers who, since 1964, do not swing in the UK.

I used to work in this fantastic building which many people are surprised to hear that it is open to public. This gothic style building is home to the High Court comprising of 3 Divisions - Chancery, Queen's Bench and Family. Prior to it's current home the High Court was based in Westminster Palace. The RCJ is the highest inEngland and Wales apart from the House of Lords where appeals of High Court decisions are heard. There have been many high profile cases held here and has seen many famous faces pass through it's doors such as Naomi Campbell, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones. It also lends it's courts to numerous public inquiries such as the Hutton Inquiry and the inquiry into the death of Princess Diana.
The building was completed in 1882 and opened by Queen Victoria and was one of the first public buildings in the country to be powered by electricity. The building is the centre of legal London and the Inns of Court surround the sight.
You can take a tour of the RCJ at the cost of £6 per person. Call for more details.
