The Bow Street Magistrates' Court

On the court's final day after almost three centuries, Rory MacLean goes behind the scenes as staff prepare to leave. From July 2006.

There has been a Magistrates Court in London's Bow Street since 1740, dispensing justice to an extraordinary range of characters from Casanova to the Krays. But the court is closing to be turned into a boutique hotel.

On the day of its final sitting, Rory MacLean is given unique access behind the scenes as staff prepare to leave and almost three centuries of tradition comes to an end.
