Kingston upon Thames Crown Court, Crown Court in Kingston upon Thames, United Kingdom
Kingston upon Thames Crown Court is a modern courthouse with a symmetrical facade divided into eleven sections, featuring a central glass atrium and contemporary bay window facing Penrhyn Road. Inside, the building contains nineteen consultation rooms equipped with video conferencing technology and hearing assistance systems for proceedings.
The court was built during the 1990s to handle the rising number of criminal cases in southwest London, replacing the former Sessions House in Surbiton. This development marked a shift in how the region managed its judicial needs.
The site once housed a royal residence in the Middle Ages and later served as home to a local scout group before becoming a courthouse. This series of uses shows how the location has shifted between different community purposes across centuries.
The building operates Monday through Friday and features consultation rooms and video conferencing systems to support different types of proceedings. Visitors should know this is an active courthouse with standard security measures in place.
The courthouse employs special curtains in its courtrooms as a protective measure for witnesses during sensitive testimonies. This design feature allows critical witness statements to be given while maintaining confidentiality.
