My mistake... looked a bit churchy.
An understandable mistake. The Great Hall of the Royal Courts of Justice is reminiscent of a cathedral.
The architect, George Edmund Street RA, had an extensive ecclesiastical practice and is renowned for his many churches (here and abroad) in the Gothic Revival style. He was the sole architect for the entire project (covering about six acres) from foundations to spires.
Street died (aged 57) a year before the building was opened in 1882 by Queen Victoria, after eleven years of construction. He is buried in Westminster Abbey – an indication of the esteem in which he was held.
