Inner London Crown Court

The Inner London Crown Court, located in a historic Grade II listed building on Newington Causeway, is a significant site for both legal history and architecture in London. Originally opened in 1791 as the Surrey County Sessions House, it has witnessed notable trials, including the blasphemy case of Reverend Robert Taylor in 1831. The current structure, completed in 1921, showcases classical design elements and has been a Crown Court since 1971. Visitors can explore its rich history, including its transformation from a judicial site to a modern court handling high-profile cases, such as the aftermath of the 2009 Upton Park riot.
