Central Criminal Court, Criminal courthouse in City of London, England.
The Central Criminal Court contains multiple courtrooms spread across several floors within a grade II listed building featuring a copper-domed roof.
The current courthouse, designed by architect Edward William Mountford, opened in 1907 on the site of the former medieval Newgate Prison.
The Central Criminal Court holds major criminal trials from Greater London and occasionally from other parts of England and Wales.
The public can attend court proceedings through visitor galleries, but security measures require early arrival and prohibit electronic devices.
The statue of Justice on top of the building dome stands 60 meters high and differs from traditional depictions as it does not wear a blindfold.
