A FORMER courthouse and police station in London is set to be reborn as a new luxury boutique hotel next month.

Following a £40million renovation the former Old Street Magistrates’ Court and Police Station has been turned into the Courthouse Hotel Shoreditch.

Guests at the new hotel in Old Street will be following in famous, and infamous, footsteps including those of the writer Joe Orton and notorious East London gangsters Ronnie and Reggie Kray.

The Grade-II Listed property served in its former guise for over ninety years and now been sensitively converted into a hotel offering 86 guest rooms and 42 suites.

Original courtrooms have been turned into a fine dining restaurant and an ultra exclusive members’ bar. The Courthouse Hotel Shoreditch, sister to the Courthouse Hotel in Great Marlborough Street, is due to open on June 1st.
