My friend and I really enjoyed our visit to the Royal Courts of Justice, the Inn’s of Court and the Old Bailey. What magnificent architecture. Our tour guide Tim was very informative and amusing. It was a lovely way to spend a couple of hours and we even managed to sit in on a session in an Appeal Hearing in one of the Courts. The weather was cold but sunny so the walk to Lincoln Inn and the Old Bailey was charming. We were given a list of all the cases to be heard in the courts at the Old Bailey in the afternoon but unfortunately did not attend any as we had other plans. This really was an excellent tour - thank you.

The Royal Courts of Justice are located on the Strand close to the end where it becomes Fleet Street. It is a large set of buildings where many important decisions are made. The building has lots of ornate towers as well as arches and turrets. If you like nice architecture you will probably enjoy checking this out.

Our group of 4 enjoyed an excellent morning tour of the RCJ and Lincoln’s Inn from Tim Wood who is an ex-court reporter. He knows his stuff and entertained us with his personal stories. Very interesting and informative couple of hours. He also gave us a list of live cases in the Old Bailey which we could attend in the public gallery in the afternoon. We went on a Friday and only a few cases were running. The limitations on numbers meant we couldn’t wait but we’ll be back another time.

An excellent tour of the Royal Courts of Justice today. I am only sorry I   could not visit the old Bailey but I  had to get my train back home. It really was very interesting and most enjoyable. The Tour Guide, Joseph Woods, was very knowledgeable and gave a lot of information about the history of both the building and the cases held at the Court

What a find. We had a great afternoon sat in the peaceful surroundings in the sunshine with a nice bottle of French rose and a few snacks. Couldn’t believe the price of the wine, £20 in the middle of London, what a find.

A very interesting tour by June and afterwards we went into two of the courts in session which was fascinating. They finish at 4.30 but we would have loved to have gone back the next day but couldn't. There is also a self guided tour if you don't want to book a tour. There are no lifts in the building . Airport style security on entry.

We visited the RCJ on Open House weekend. Some 600 places across greater London are open (free) to the public; so like many people we planned several visits in different locations (some of which are timed tours) over the weekend - allowing 90 mins for the RCJ (as from the advance information it was simply open to the public to look around). On arrival we discovered they has numerous things organised (including talks, mock trials and so on). Put simply, we would have liked to spend a lot, lot more time here, but had to move on. The building is very impressive, and all the staff/volunteers on hand were informative and friendly. It's just a great shame that the didn't properly publicise in advance that they had a lot more on offer than a simple (short self guided) tour.
