Bow Street Magistrates court to become hotel

20081017Bowstreet-1

Past visitors include Casanova, Crippen, Abu Hamza, Pinochet and the Krays. Future visitors could include you. Bow Street Magistrates'
Court has been acquired by Edward Holdings, with permission to turn it into a hotel.

The historic façade will remain but that there will be an ‘interpretive centre’ inside incorporating the existing cell block at ground floor and basement levels.

Its Grade II listing doesn't even come close to representing the building's historical importance. Let's hope they don't screw this up.
