A Walking Guide to Lawyers' London

Foreword by Lord Falconer of Thoroton

London's legal history is rich and diverse, and the literature and pageantry surrounding it is equally impressive. The range and scope of the city's legal buildings, from the Inns of Court, Chancery and Serjeant's Inns to the Royal Courts of Justice and Central Criminal Court are testimony to the importance of law in London life. In this illustrated volume, Andrew Goodman guides the reader around the lawyers' quarter of London on a series of walks, identifying historic and present day features.

This new edition is fully updated, with new additions to the walks covering refurbishments to the Temple Gate, to the Public Records Office site on Chancery Lane and the establishment of the new Supreme Court. The Da Vinci code book and film connections are also touched on.

With an unerring eye for detail, the author identifies historic and present day features whilst providing clear map directions. Containing over 160 illustrations, mainly in colour and including interiors not normally available to the sightseer, this book offers an invaluable guide and a unique souvenir of a highly memorable aspect of London life.
