Certain courts will never grace the pages of glossy law school brochures — with good reason…

Leyland Magistrates’ Court: dystopian.

Luton Crown Court: more Barratt Homes than Old Bailey.

Milton Keynes Magistrates’ Court: who needs windows?

Nuneaton County Court: 90s leisure centre chic.

Romford Magistrates’ Court: welcome to the 70s.

Stroud Magistrates’ Court: light industrial.

Welshpool Magistrates’ Court: you can almost smell the damp.

Guildford Magistrates’ Court: bomb proof.

Kettering Magistrates’ Court: extremely underwhelming.

Alton Magistrates’ Court: what happened to the ground floor?

Barnstaple Crown Court: needs larger fig leaf.

Barkingside Magistrates’ Court: at least it’s sunny.

Coming up next month: 12 of the most charming court buildings in England and Wales.
