You’ll be off the coach for much of the day and although
we don’t walk long distances and take every opportunity
to sit down you are on your feet a lot. You can opt to
replace the walk after lunch with a coach tour. The tour
is available Monday to Fridays all year. Please note that
during August most of the barristers are on holiday.
Adults & Seniors: £19.95
Coach Mileage: 5
I would like to tell you how much my group, KARF
Maidstone East, enjoyed the Legal London Tour last
Thursday. The guide, Victoria, was excellent and the lunch
was very much enjoyed. You even supplied lovely weather!
A really good day out, thank you very much.
Barbara Dormer, KARF Maidstone East
I’d just like to let you know how much we all enjoyed the
Legal London tour last Wednesday, despite the rain! Our
guide Sarah was charming and informative and looked after
us very well. Also the carvery lunch was delicious. Thank
you very much for organising the trip.

At the Royal Courts of Justice you can really see Legal London at
work with barristers and their clients holding last minute corridor
conferences and striking deals with the other side ‘at the door of
the court’. Please note that cameras and children under 14 are not
allow in the Royal Courts.
During the morning we will visit Middle Temple Hall – a rather
beautiful Elizabethan Hall with double hammerbeam roof,
magnificent oak screen and brilliantly coloured glass where
Shakespeare performed and the barristers still dine. If you really
want to push the boat out you can replace the coffee and carvery
with morning coffee on Fleet Street and a three-course lunch in
Middle Temple Hall - call us for details. So stay here for lunch
or return to Fleet Street for a traditional pub carvery lunch.
Bar drinks, hot drinks and desserts are left to the individual
to choose and pay for, if desired, on the day. Vegetarians are
catered for – just let us know a week before the trip.
In the afternoon there’s a short coach tour to see the Old Bailey
before setting down to enter Lincoln’s Inn through the great
Tudor gatehouse. The chapel bell, captured by the Earl of Essex
at the siege of Cadiz in 1596, still tolls after the death of a
bencher, a custom that inspired Donne’s words: “Never send to
know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.’’ This must be the
only day we want to end up in Carey Street – the former home of
the Bankruptcy Court. We end up back on Fleet Street with time
to buy refreshments before returning to the coach to head home
at 4.45pm.
