The Royal Courts of Justice in London were designed by George Edmund Street, who died before they opened, and Sir Henry Tanner extended them in 1912. The article names no client. Parliament paid for the site, and the building was paid for from cash accumulated in court from intestate estates. The infobox and text agree that work began in 1873 and Queen Victoria opened it on December 4, 1882.
The article calls the style Victorian Gothic Revival. It uses Portland stone ashlar and red brick, with granite, marble and red sandstone dressings and slate and lead roofs. The 6-acre (24,000 square meter) site required demolishing about 450 houses.
It was listed Grade I in 1970 and houses the High Court and Court of Appeal of England and Wales. A Banksy mural was found on September 8, 2025 and later removed. The article gives no hours.
