Southwark Crown Court, Crown court in Southwark, London Borough, England.
Southwark Crown Court is a courthouse in Southwark near the River Thames, a three-story yellow brick structure that houses fifteen courtrooms and forty-eight interview rooms for handling serious criminal cases.
The building opened in 1983, replacing the Sessions House in Newington Causeway on the former Willson's Wharf site. This move provided a more modern facility for handling serious criminal cases in the region.
The courthouse maintains strict protocols for legal proceedings, representing the formal administration of justice in England through its handling of serious criminal cases.
The court is accessible Monday through Friday and provides disabled access and free wireless internet throughout the building. Visitors should check security procedures in advance, as this is an active courthouse with restricted entry requirements.
The court specializes in complex fraud cases and handles many high-profile proceedings, making it a recognizable venue for trials that attract public and media attention. Its role as a serious fraud center for the Southeast Region draws journalists and observers regularly.
