You're standing on the Strand, in front of the Royal Courts of Justice. Most Londoners just call it the Law Courts. This is home to the High Court and the Court of Appeal of England and Wales. Take a look at that grey stone front, full of turrets and pointed windows. It could pass for a cathedral, but it's a courthouse, and one of the largest in Europe.
