Lonely Planet review for Royal Courts of Justice

Where The Strand joins Fleet St, you’ll see the entrance to this gargantuan melange of Gothic spires, pinnacles and burnished Portland stone, designed by aspiring cathedral builder GE Street in 1874. (It took so much out of the architect that he died of a stroke shortly before its completion.) Inside the Great Hall there’s an exhibition of legal costumes, as well as a list of cases to be heard in court that day; if you’re interested in ‘the criminal mind’ and decide to watch, leave your camera behind and expect airportlike security.
