overview
Historic Clerkenwell in the heart of London has a rich history stretching back over 1000 years pre-dating the Norman Conquest of 1066
Our building was once the largest and busiest Court-House in England; it replaced the original Sessions House for the County of Middlesex erected in 1612 near Smithfield Market.
The present building contained court rooms, dungeons for holding prisoners and living space for the resident judges. It ceased to function as a Court in 1920 and now serves as both the Ennismore Home and a beautiful event space.
Built in the Grand Pantheon style favoured during the reign of King George III, the building has been extensively restored to much of its original style. The entrance hall hosts a stunning 20 metre high dome modelled on the Pantheon in Rome and The building has a grade 2 star listing from English Heritage.
