Overview

Saturday, 25th October

Explore London’s legal heart on this 6.5 mile walk through history and justice.

Starting at Embankment Tube, we’ll trace centuries of law and order — from Bow Street Magistrates’ Court to the majestic Royal Courts of Justice and the Old Bailey.

Along the way, enjoy architectural gems like Temple Church and Staple Inn, plus a stroll along Thomas More Highwalk.

Expect stories of crime, courts, and counsel in equal measure.

There will be an opportunity to join us in the Viaduct Tavern public house afterwards for a social drink to review the days fun!
