When in
London, have the courage to veer off the main streets and into the little
alleyways and narrow lanes. You’ll be rewarded with some of the more
interesting sights of the city.
Middle Temple
Lane is just off the Strand, where it meets Fleet Street. It is one of London’s
four inns of court. Nip down here and you feel you’re in a different century. It
was the home of the Knights Templar, those medieval crusaders. Set up as
hostels and schools for lawyers in the 13th century, Middle Temple now
houses barristers’ offices (or chambers). Worth a visit for its picturesque
cobbled lanes, gardens and church.
