"The afternoon starts with a tour of the Old Bailey, including the courtrooms, the judges' dining room, and the cells below. If you've booked the afternoon tea, you're taken back up to the richly decorated Great Hall for an afternoon tea surrounded by all the pomp and grandeur that the hall can deliver."
"This is a working court and even though the tours are on a Saturday: Everyone has to go through the security check on arrival. You will need to bring photo ID. There is no admission for children under 14, and security may request proof of age. No large bags or rucksacks are allowed in the building, though handbags are acceptable."
The Central Criminal Court of England and Wales, commonly known as the Old Bailey, has expanded its tour offerings to include an afternoon tea experience. Visitors begin with a guided tour of the building's notable areas including courtrooms, judges' dining room, and cells. Those who book the afternoon tea option are then escorted to the ornately decorated Great Hall for tea service. Standard tours cost £27.80, while the afternoon tea experience costs £103.63. As an active courthouse, all visitors must pass security screening, provide photo identification, and adhere to restrictions including no children under 14, no large bags, and no photography in courtrooms, cells, or the judges' dining room.
