The oldest of the four Inns of Court, the historic buildings are set in beautiful, private grounds in Central London.


The Old Hall, a fine example of Tudor architecture, dates back to 1490 and has many notable features including the wooden screen at the south end, designed by Inigo Jones, and Hogarth’s painting of “Paul before Felix” on the North wall. The Crypt beneath the Old Hall was for centuries used for storage of fuel, food and wine. Now the brick groin vaulting has been restored to its former glory and is used as a reception area.

The Great Hall was opened by Queen Victoria in 1845 and is the largest hall of any of the Inns and is considered to be one of the most distinguished buildings designed by Philip Hardwick working in the Tudor Revival style. On the North Wall is a huge and magnificent fresco executed by G.F. Watts, the Pre-Raphaelite painter, showing the world’s law givers from Moses to Edward I. The Bench Rooms are hired in conjunction with the hall and are used as reception areas.

Steeped in tradition and grandeur, the halls provide a unique and spectacular setting for any event from small intimate gatherings to large lavish banquets.

    I was immensely pleased to be invited here for a dinner aimed at aspiring barristers. I was afforded the chance to dine on an exquisite meal and converse over dinner with some of the greatest legal minds in the United Kingdom, including The Rt Hon Lord Briggs of Westbourne PC, 517th Treasurer of the Inn and a UK Supreme Court Justice who was the quintessential English gentleman and a paragon of the profession. There have been times and places when I was supposed to be awestruck and amazed at a particular place or object, and most of the time, they have failed to strike that feeling into me. However, Lincoln's Inn, notably the Great Hall, left me speechless. It is an absolute masterpiece of architecture, and the ambience is unrivalled. The history of the Inn is absolutely astounding. I had a lengthy chat with a High Court Judge who regaled me with the history of Lincoln's Inn and the formerly attached Inns of Chancery. It was a fantastic evening that I won't forget!
