Finding your Nearest London County Court
County courts operate in a somewhat unique manner in London, just as many of the capital’s mechanisms and features are unique. While other major cities will have a centralised county or combined court, London has a number of county courts operating within it, serving different parts of of the city.
Fortunately, to avoid any overlap or confusion, many of these courts have clearly defined areas that they will cover, according to the post codes under which such areas fall.
There are exceptions to these divisions – for example, Central London County Court is equipped for work that few other courts will undertake, such as patent and chancery cases – as such, this court will take on cases from further afield. Here is a basic breakdown of which courts operate in which areas.
