Bidding starts for £300m London court and police complex

The City of London Corporation is prequalifying firms for a £300m project to build a major court and police complex on Fleet Street.

Known as ‘The Salisbury Square Development’, the project will see construction of an 18 courtroom facility and new base for the City of London Police alongside an office building that will help fund the scheme.

Under the present plan, it is hoped clearance work will start on site before the end of this year. Building work will get underway in August 2022 and run to 30 June 2026.

The new City of London Police headquarters will improve efficiency by bringing together staff in the purpose-built building to deal with national cases of fraud and economic crime.

The development will be situated near to many important facilities relating to the legal profession including the Royal Courts of Justice, the Old Bailey, the Inns of Court and The Rolls Building

The planned single-court building will replace the aging Mayor’s and City of London Court, the City of London Magistrates’ Court, which will be redeveloped to fund the scheme, along with a contribution from proceeds from the sale of Wood Street Police Station and Snow Hill Police Station.
