Tips

When to go

Best season

All months

Best time

Morning, Mid-day, Late afternoon
You can take an exterior photo of the Royal Courts of Justice any month of the year.
For similar conditions, visit this place in the late-afternoon when it's not during commuter or lunch time. There are a lot of law buildings in the area, so it can get very busy during the week.

Field tips

I took this image with an iPhone, but if you bring along a camera, make sure to also bring a wide-angle lens. You'll be able to capture the entire building, as well as the bus passing by.
For a similar scene with a red bus, download a London bus times app or the TFL app to see when the number 15 bus towards St Paul’s Cathedral is due.
For an additional beautiful spot, walk around to the back of the building for a stunning perspective of the architecture with red London phone boxes outside.
