Inns of Court

… or, ‘guess which BBC Victorian drama was filmed here…?’

There’s a lot to say about the Inns of Court – for a start, there are three of them; Greys Inn, Lincolns Inn and Middle Temple Inn – and they’re extremely old and have a reasonably exciting history.  So I’m not going to really say much about them yet, and simply put in some of the photos I’ve acquired and say that bang smack in the middle of London are three dead sexy historical bits of the city inhabited almost entirely by lawyers and film crews, covering many, many acres, and almost entirely hidden from public sight, although, oddly enough, entirely free to public access.  And unless you’re seeking legal advice, I heartily recommend them as good places to sit and eat cake.  Although you’re not allowed on the grass, irritatingly enough, without having at the very least a wig to put on your head…
