The Royal Courts of Justice are an attraction well worth a visit. Close enough to Parliament, the Temple and The City. With stunning Victorian architecture, a small costume exhibition. The courts were designed by George Edmund Street and took more than eight years to complete throughout the 1870s. The courts were opened in an official ceremony by Queen Victoria on December 4th, 1882.

I cannot recommend the sapphire workshop/ diamond workshop enough. A really friendly and down to earth place with a lovely vibe. They found a great selection of sapphires for me to choose from and Vincent (who made my ring) was amazingly patient and understood my vision perfectly. Midway through the making process, I was able to go In and try the ring and discuss anything I wanted. The whole process was exciting and Vincent has made me the most beautiful engagement ring and I’m delighted! Thank you so much!

This square really is a hidden gem, small, secluded but bright.It is surrounded by lovely Georgian terraced houses that the University now uses. Lots of the famous Bloomsbury set lived here. There is a lovely little cafe, serving home made foods.

Our most recent stay in London saw us again take a number of enjoyable long walks through the city’s central area. One of those walks took us along the Strand and Fleet Street from Trafalgar Square to St. Paul’s Cathedral. As we made our way along the streets, we encountered a number of interesting sights. One of those sights which we had encountered before during a previous visit to London was the Temple Bar Memorial. This memorial stands in the middle of the road near the Royal Courts of Justice and designates the boundary between the City of Westminster and the City of London. This is the spot where the original gates to the City of London known as the Temple Bar, once stood. The memorial consists of a tall stone pedestal with intricate carvings and featuring statues of Queen Victoria and her eldest son. Atop the pedestal stands a large winged dragon. This is certainly an eye-catching memorial and it is certainly worthy of your attention should you be passing by!

Sicilian Avenue is a pedestrianised arcade and is located between Southampton Row and Bloomsbury Way on the borders of the Bloomsbury and Holborn districts of London. The street was designed by architect Robert Worley in 1906 in Edwardian style with an abundance of architectural flourishes. Sicilian Avenue has a range of shops of restaurants and is an extremely pleasant place that can easily be missed but worth seeking out whilst in the areas of Holborn / Bloomsbury.
