⚖️A Must-see: One of my Favorite Visits in London⚖️ You can't capture the Royal Courts of Justice in pictures. The scale and breadth requires a panorama just to get everything into view. Photos aren't allowed on the inside, but stepping in feels as grand as entering a cathedral. Water bottles and cell phones can be brought inside (you'll be asked to drink from the water first) and then you go through a brief security check. Proceedings happen in real-time throughout the day, and you may enter and listen in on them, or simply enjoy taking in the sights. There's a small museum on the second floor, dedicated to legal attire and processes throughout the ages. I spent a couple hours in here, just soaking in the ambience, but didn't actually enter any of the proceedings rooms. It's a great itinerary item and doesn't require a ticket or money to enjoy. Highly recommended!

The royal Courts of Justice The Strand London, absolutely amazing architecture from the outside, once you're inside the architecture continues completely wonderful experience lovely historical law related paintings Adorn the walls, out of this world stonework, phenomenal open space, it's quite amazing inside how much the building opens up into different areas really quite surprising. It was somewhere that I really enjoyed looking around

First ever visit interesting exhibitions, didn't know it was open to the public to view the court rooms for free. On a main road and easy to travel to was not that busy but the viewers for the exhibitions where still arriving when I leaving the building. Airport style security on the entrance to the building.

Many people do not know that this building is completely open to public. It include a beautiful free museum. It is wonderful to stroll around too.

Happened upon the royal courts of justice on a walk back from St Paul’s. Absolutely spectacular buildings by day or evening. It was getting to dusk when we arrived and the buildings and architecture looked spectacular. Introduced the location to my wife who was visiting and liked it so much it inspired us to look at a way to join a tour on our next visit. Splendid architecture, well worth seeing

One of the most beautiful buildings in London

I love every single detail about London. You can see stunning buildings in every step. I don't say anything about justice but the building is perfect.

Very impressive gothic like architecture

Sure a beautiful gothic style building. Sometimes we can see some people who show protest or demonstation in front of the building.

amazing and worth the wait in line to go through the security just a shame that you can’t take pictures inside This is a beautiful Victorian Gothic building built out of grey stone. It was designed by George Edmund Street and inaugurated in 1882 by Queen Victoria. It contains more that a thousand rooms, many towers and several interesting statues. The law courts have a very opulent interior.

The RCJ is potentially the best looking courthouse on the planet. And that's probably because the RCJ has that Hogwarts look to it!

You would really struggle to find the administrative court whose map was the only map absent in the maps stand unlike the rest of other courts there. It took me over 3 hours walking around the building to find the office of the administrative court which is located on the third floor.

Impressive architecture

Such a grand, romantic, and beautiful building, such a shame we stumbled upon this majestic building when it’s closed so we couldn’t take a look inside. Will make sure to visit this place next time we’re in London

The Royal Courts of Justice in London are a masterpiece of architectural grandeur. The moment you approach this historic landmark, you're greeted by an awe-inspiring façade that exudes a sense of authority and timelessness.

The building's sheer scale and the meticulous craftsmanship are a testament to the dedication of the architects who designed it. The Royal Courts of Justice stand not only as a symbol of justice but also as a testament to the enduring beauty of architectural heritage. Whether you're a legal enthusiast or an architecture aficionado, a visit to this iconic site is a journey through time and a feast for the eyes.

Wasn't sentenced to death. Relatively good outcome

Wow absolutely amazing architecture from the outside,

I don’t know about the Royal Court and it’s system, but what I saw there is truely mesmerising architecture. Beautiful building, so captive and full of details. Worth a visit whether it is a day visit or at night!

A magnificent place to visit. Lots of historical objects.

Very busy area during weekdays but great zones to discover some vintage buildings of London

Really fascinating place where you get to see the court system in action - you have to go through airport style security to enter, but it's completely free and once you're in you're free to explore at your own pace. It's a real cathedral to the legal system, and the scale and beauty of the building are awe inspiring. You can also observe cases freely, though we lacked the confidence to do so!

I had appealed to Royal court of justice for preaction disclosure on a current matter with GP which involved potential GP medical malpractice on immigrant women.They initially told me to make a fee payment and they would look into the case if it had a case reference no from county court. I had bought the matter to high court bearing in mind the severity of the situation however after making the fee payment the court hasn't considered my case directing me back to county court.

All that I have asked is for a simple hearing, you have no idea yet you wanna no the full story of the case without it happening thats not how justice system works in my eyes mr cotter, you have also put a cro in place just when I most need to apply making it extremely difficult on my financially. I have been asking for a hearing for 3 years based on the fact the they have dimished their responsibility on and lack of care leaving a vulnerable mental health patient with the adequate care after discharge in the streets, does that not hold any merit!? I have also only applied to the befit system in 2017! thats 10 years of not receiving any money from them. Im sorry but the moment they took responsibility for me in 2007 they should have given the correct support after discharge. and that mr cotter is negligence!!! I have other allegations I wish you to adhere too why do you dismis the case without merit on this party who are accountable for crimes that they entertained throughout my some of my time, you should not let them get away with it, my guess is that you have been bribed either way something isnt kosher

We had a very interesting tour given by tour guide, David, who did a great job!

A beautiful building that looks like it's from a fairytale. You could easily miss this on a sightseeing trip to London but its spectacular and entry is free.

Ah, the Royal Court of Justice, where legal eagles don their wigs and engage in a dance of verbosity that would make Shakespeare blush. It's a place where the scales of justice are weighed down not just by evidence, but by the sheer weight of the Queen's English. One might think that the court is less about dispensing justice and more about determining who can construct the most convoluted sentence. The barristers, with their impeccable manners and razor-sharp wit, engage in a linguistic jousting match that would leave even the most seasoned wordsmiths in awe. It's a spectacle of legal theatrics, where the real verdict may well be determined by the clever turn of phrase rather than the merits of the case. One can't help but admire the skillful banter as the courtroom transforms into a linguistic battlefield, and the battle of words becomes as riveting as any Shakespearean drama.

the 20th Spot: Royal court of justice

Lovely building and lovely staff. The architecture is amazing I think some nice classical music in the corridor could be nice.
