7 firms listed for Greater London, including the Harley Street and London Bridge medical districts · details as published on their sites, September 2026.
Civil and family work that calls for a psychiatric or psychological opinion in the capital is spread across several venues rather than one central court. The Royal Courts of Justice on the Strand houses the High Court’s Family Division, while the neighbouring Rolls Building on Fetter Lane houses the Business and Property Courts; Central Family Court and the Court of Protection both sit at First Avenue House on High Holborn, and Central London County Court sits at the Thomas More Building within the Royal Courts of Justice complex. Crown Court work is spread across centres including Southwark, Snaresbrook, Wood Green and Inner London Crown Court at the Sessions House on Newington Causeway.
On the clinical side, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust runs services at Bethlem Royal Hospital, including the Brook Ward medium secure unit, while West London NHS Trust and Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust cover other parts of the capital. King’s College London’s Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, UCL’s Division of Psychiatry and Imperial College London’s Department of Brain Sciences anchor the academic side of the specialty in the city.
Tips for London
- Family proceedings issued in the capital are generally listed at Central Family Court, First Avenue House, High Holborn, rather than at a single borough court.
- High Court family matters are heard at the Royal Courts of Justice, while the neighbouring Rolls Building handles business and property work; Court of Protection business is administered from First Avenue House.
- Crown Court work is split across several centres, including Southwark, Snaresbrook, Wood Green and Inner London Crown Court, so confirm the correct venue before instructing.
- The First-tier Tribunal (Mental Health) normally sits at the hospital where the patient is detained rather than at a fixed tribunal building, which shapes how any hearing is arranged.
