19-21, Great Marlborough Street W1, Grade II listed courthouse in Soho, England
The building at 19-21 Great Marlborough Street is a late 18th-century courthouse with classical architectural lines and well-maintained interior finishes throughout its rooms. It retains original fireplaces designed in the Robert Adams style and oak flooring that extends across its floors.
The courthouse was built in the late 18th century and served as one of Britain's oldest magistrates courts until it closed in 1998. It handled several high-profile cases that drew significant public attention during its long period of operation.
The courthouse served as a working seat of law enforcement where judges, lawyers, and court officials gathered daily to handle disputes and criminal matters affecting the local community.
The building sits about ten minutes walk from Oxford Circus tube station and nearby Tottenham Court Road, making it easily accessible by public transport. The location is pedestrian-friendly and sits within an active shopping district with stores and eateries surrounding the area.
During its active years, the courthouse hosted trials that were later documented and reported by journalists and writers, giving the place a connection to literary history. This link to contemporary journalism and record-keeping made it a location captured in historical accounts of the period.
