Old Bailey, London

Old Bailey

Fans of crime and punishment should head to the formidable Old Bailey while enjoying a break in cheap London accommodation.

This central London building is home to the Crown Court, which tries the most severe criminal cases in the city and sometimes other parts of the UK.

As there is a requirement for justice to be seen to be done, most cases are open to the public so you never know, you could sit in on one of the biggest cases in history.

The Old Bailey is also steeped in history as more than 100,000 criminal trials were held at the court between 1674 and 1834 including all death penalty verdicts, with people being hanged for crimes as little as stealing a loaf of bread in the 19th century.
