#crime-and-justice

The reason for this change is to better reflect the breadth and depth of the stories we have to tell. Bow Street's iconic Magistrate's Court, and the cases it heard, are as famous as the Bow Street Runners, the first organised police force, and whilst the history of policing and the original police cells in this historic building, will remain prominent in our storytelling, we feel it is equally important to look at the history of those with lived experiences of crime and justice, famous or not, who passed through the legal system here on Bow Street over the last 300 years.
