Well worth a visit if you are in Westminster. I have been three times for conferences and its a wonderful place to visit and often you can catch the one of the courts in session. The staff are really friendly and more than happy to help.

This is only going to appeal to a limited amount of people. But if you have any interest in the judicial process this is quite cool. The exhibit on the LG floor was very good and I liked the interactive section. I spent an hour here, and learned a few things. If you are visiting be prepared to go through...

We were delighted to stumble across the Supreme Court whilst visiting London recently and were pleasantly surprised at this hidden gem. In contrast to some overpriced attractions in Westminster access is free and the location is well worth a visit.

The Supreme Court is probably the most obscure yet the easiest to access of the three branches of the British Government. Visits to the executive (Downing Street and Buckingham Palace) and the legislature (Parliament) are highly regulated but after a brief security check you can explore the building as you like. In the basement is a good exhibit explaining the...

If you are a law-abiding citizen you probably don't know much about the different strata of the judicial system, I had no idea that we had made such a significant change to the old regime. Sad that some of us know so little about the nuts and bolts of our own country, our Polish guide in one of the courts...

A simple sign outside is the only clue that you can visit, it doesn't seem to be advertised or published anywhere else. Upon entering, you have to pass through security.
You are then free to explore the building, you can observe a court in session, view some of the interesting items housed here and look around the empty courtrooms. There...
