Lincoln's Inn - Sightseeing, London Landmarks

Lincoln's Inn

incoln's Inn is one of London's four Inns of Court. These are legal societies with the power to call people to the bar. Though very old (the gateway leading from Chancery Lane dates back to the 1500's), Lincoln's Inn is still very much in use today by the legal profession.

Though the main buildings are not open to the public, the Chapel built by Indigo Jones is.

Lincoln's Inn Fields is a tranquil free filled square to the west of Lincoln's Inn. Look out for the water fountain near the west gate of the square. This fountain dates back to 1861 and has the inscription "The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life."

See also the other Inns of Court Middle and Inner Temple and Gray's Inn.
