Inner London Crown Court

The Inner London Crown Court is a symmetrical courthouse with eleven bays along its main facade on Newington Causeway in South London. The building houses ten courtrooms and seven interview rooms across its interior spaces.

The original Surrey County Sessions House opened in 1791, designed by George Gwilt the Elder, and stood beside Horsemonger Lane Gaol which handled criminal cases. The building underwent major reconstruction in 1921 to create its present appearance.

The courthouse serves as a working center of British law where formal proceedings happen daily in its ten courtrooms. Visitors can observe how the justice system operates through these active spaces.

The courthouse operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM and provides facilities for disabled visitors. Security checks are routine and some areas are restricted to the public.

The building contains dedicated spaces for remote hearings through video conferencing and direct links to prisons for teleconferences. This allows inmates to participate in proceedings without being transported to the courthouse.
