It is one of the largest courts in Europe. It is a Grade I listed building.

Temple Bar

St Clement Danes · 0.1 miles

The historic gateway that once marked the main ceremonial approach from Westminster into the City of London lies at the junction where Fleet Street meets The Strand, close to St Clement Danes. Known as Temple Bar, the site originally held a barrier that regulated trade and signalled the boundary of the City’s jurisdiction. From medieval times the route linked the Tower of London, the Palace of Westminster and St Paul’s Cathedral, making the bar a focal point for royal processions; the Lord Mayor traditionally presented the Sword of State to the monarch there. The surrounding built environment includes the 19th-century Royal Courts of Justice to the north and, on the south side, Temple Church together with the Inner and Middle Temple Inns of Court. The present structure is a memorial erected after the 17th-century Wren-designed archway was taken down in 1878. The monument is topped by a dragon symbolising the City and incorporates statues of Queen Victoria and Edward VII. Although the original stone arch was later re-erected in Paternoster Square beside St Paul’s Cathedral, the memorial at Temple Bar remains the focal point for visitors. The site is listed as a heritage monument and offers step-free, wheelchair-accessible access. No admission fee is required, and the open space allows a clear view of the surrounding legal precincts and the historic streetscape.

Lincoln's Inn

Gray's Inn · 0.6 miles

A Portland stone monument set within the historic precincts of Lincoln’s Inn commemorates members of the Inn of Court who lost their lives while on active service in the First World War. Erected in 1921, the structure was designated a Grade II listed building in 1999. The ensemble measures roughly 46 feet (14 m) in length and rests on a three-step stone base; a central pylon is flanked by a curved screen that incorporates seating, terminating in piers at each end. Latin inscriptions on the screen and monument read “HOSPITIUM SOC I S / SANGUINEM PRO PATRIA LARGITIS / FILIIS PARENTES”, while the end piers bear the Roman-numeral dates 1914 and 1919 in the apostrophus form. Brass plaques on the interior faces of the piers list 35 names of the fallen, and a bronze plaque on the pylon records a further 66 names in two columns. A later addition includes a bronze plaque naming 29 individuals from the Second World War, among them Prince George, Duke of Kent. The memorial forms part of a wider network of remembrance within Lincoln’s Inn, which also contains a commemorative table, a book of remembrance, a chapel plaque, and a memorial to the 1915 Zeppelin air raid. The site lies in close proximity to Gray’s Inn, as indicated by OpenStreetMap, and can be viewed at street level within the inn’s public areas. Admission is unrestricted, and no specific visitor facilities are recorded.
