This walk explores a corner of London where medieval religion, legal education, political argument, and literary memory still overlap. Centered on the Inns of Court and the Temple, it traces the area’s shift from the Knights Templar to a legal village for barristers. Along the route, from Bow Street and The Old Curiosity Shop to Lincoln’s Inn Fields, Temple Church, One Essex Court, and Devereux Tavern, you can see law, history, and Dickensian London side by side.
