Croydon Crown Court Location & History
The Croydon Law Courts building on Altyre Road was completed in 1991 at a cost of £15.2 million, designed by the Property Services Agency in a modernist style and built in buff stone. The complex houses both the Crown Court and the County Court, with eleven courtrooms providing capacity for one of the highest caseloads in the region. Before the Altyre Road building opened, criminal hearings in Croydon were held at the earlier courthouse on neighbouring Barclay Road, which had served since 1968. Prior to that, the Surrey county assizes sat in Croydon Town Hall throughout the 19th and much of the 20th century. The older magistrates' court on Barclay Road still operates on an adjacent site, separated from the Law Courts by the Thameslink railway line.
