About Old Bailey

Old Bailey lies at the heart of the City of London, home to the Central Criminal Court where England's most serious criminal cases are tried. The area sits within the ancient square mile that forms London's original financial district, surrounded by the medieval street pattern that has defined this part of the capital for centuries. Drivers can reach it via major routes including the A40 from the west, A3 from the south, or A10 from the north, though parking is severely limited and the congestion charge applies. The courthouse is topped by the distinctive golden statue of Lady Justice, unusually depicted without a blindfold.
