The Honourable Society of Lincoln’s Inn, also simply called Lincoln’s Inn, is located in London, England, and is not a place to stay but is rather one of the four Inns of Court in London, long considered to be the legal heart of England. This is where since the 15th century barristers and lawyers have studied law and are called to the bar, and where trials are held, and it is widely considered to be one of the most eminent professional bodies of judges and lawyers in the world. It sits right nearby other similarly prestigious, historic and important institutions, including the Royal College of Surgeons, the London School of Economics and Political Science, the Royal Courts of Justice, and King’s College London’s Maughan Library, and also lies adjacent to the Lincoln’s Inn Fields, which is the largest public square in London. Lincoln’s Inn is a historic, venerable place home to an illustrious history, but it is also apparently home to plenty of ghosts.
