The Middlesex Guildhall is a historic court building in Westminster which houses the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.[1] The building stands on the south-western corner of Parliament Square, near the Palace of Westminster.[2] In 1970, the building was listed Grade II*.[3]
Constructed in the early 20th century, the building was designed by Scottish architect J. S. Gibson and sculpted by British artist Henry Fehr.[3][4] The guildhall is described by Historic England as Neo-Gothic with Flemish-Burgundian references.[3]
Initially serving as an administrative centre for Middlesex County Council and as a court of quarter session, it has undergone several iterations.[5] The building later served as a Crown Court centre, until the establishment of the Supreme Court in the early 21st century.[6]
