Summary[edit]

Description

"The Old Bailey is located about 200 yards northwest of St Paul's Cathedral, just outside the former western wall of the City of London. It is named after the street on which it is located, which itself follows the line of the original fortified wall, or "bailey", of the City. The initial location of the courthouse close to Newgate Prison allowed prisoners to be conveniently brought to the courtroom for their trials. More generally, its position between the City of London and Westminster meant it was a suitable location for trials involving people from all over the metropolis, north of the river Thames."

[The current building was] "... designed in the neo-Baroque style by E. W. Mountford and built at a cost of £392,277, [and] was...opened by King Edward VII in 1907."
