The Old Bailey

The Central Criminal Court is commonly known as the "Old Bailey" (name after the street on which the court is located) is probably the most famous criminal court in the world. 










The Crown Court here still hears criminal trials by jury.




The statue of Lady Justice (with the 3 symbols of justice) stands at the top of the dome. The Sword symbolizing the Court's coercive power, the Scale to weigh competing claims and a Blindfold to indicate impartiality
