London has always been the legal centre of the English justice system. It is the home of the Old Bailey: the central criminal court of England and Wales, as well as the Royal Courts of Justice: the home of the High Court and the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court itself, the highest court in the land. These hallowed court houses have shaped our legal system for hundreds of years, and remain the lynchpins of English criminal justice.
But London is not only a shining beacon of legal achievement. For much of its existence, it was a city of suffering, desperation and cruelty. Scratch below the rarefied veneer of affluence and propriety and you’ll discover the city’s dark underbelly of crime. A city where life was cheap, and its residents often met tragic and gruesome ends.
Join Naomi Ryan for a discussion of some of the most macabre, unusual and important cases from London’s legal history, from the murder of a Prime Minister to crime solving ouija boards, and even a sprinkle of vampires.
