The Royal Courts of Justice, commonly called the Law Courts, is a court building in London which houses the High Court and Court of Appeal of England and Wales. The High Court also sits on circuit and in other major cities. Designed by George Edmund Street, who died before it was completed, it is a large grey stone edifice in the Victorian Gothic style built in the 1870s and opened by Queen Victoria in 1882. It is one of the largest courts in Europe. It is located on Strand within the City of Westminster, near the border with the City of London . It is surrounded by the four Inns of Court, St Clement Danes church, King's College London and the London School of Economics. The nearest London Underground stations are Chancery Lane and Temple. The courts within the building are generally open to the public with some access restrictions depending upon the nature of the cases being heard. Those in court who do not have legal representation may receive some assistance within the building. A citizens' advice bureau is based in its Main Hall which provides free, confidential and impartial advice by appointment to anyone who is a litigant in person in the courts. There is also a Personal Support Unit where litigants in person can receive emotional support and practical information about court proceedings. The Central Criminal Court, widely known as the Old Bailey after its street, is about 1⁄2 mile to the east — a Crown Court with no direct connection with the Royal Courts of Justice.
