Holborn

About Holborn
Pronounced 'hoe bern', this area is home to the distinctive Inns of Court: historic and beautiful sets of buildings where barristers have resided since the 13th century. A walk through one of these Inns is often like stepping back in time, especially if you happen upon a barrister in his obligatory eighteenth century court attire. The 12th century Temple Church is well worth a look as is the fascinating and under visited Sir John Soane's Museum in Lincoln's Inn with its eccentric collections of paraphernalia. Even more bizarre is the Hunterian Museum in the Royal College of Surgeons. Here you'll find pickled exhibits of human remains, skeletons of midgets and giants, the examination couch used by Lister (who discovered antiseptic), and even human teeth from the battlefield of Waterloo.
