Middlesex Guildhall hits its centenary

The Supreme Court, which this year celebrates the 100th birthday of its host building, the Middlesex Guildhall, has launched two new guides to London’s legal landmarks.

The other, which is available in print and online form, recounts tales of notable figures associated with the building.
