Central Criminal Court, London

This is a bit of history (the Criminal Courts Building is not quite a hundred years old), but for me the excitement was seeing the British system of justice in action. I'm an American attorney, and watching some of an arson trial was absolutely fascinating. It was disappointing that the bailiffs could not (or would not) discriminate between those "tourists" who had no idea what was going on and had to be constant "shushed" as if this was a play being performed for their benefit and those of us who were there for a more serious view. But I can't blame them, as I suppose there are vastly more of the former. BE AWARE!!!!! No cameras of any kind are allowed, although there are shops nearby that will hold your camera for a pretty dear price while you visit.
