Holborn is at the heart of the legal profession and the area is awash with lawyers; you will find a higher concentration here than anywhere else in the country.
The Inns of Court, to which every barrister is attached, are very much in the tradition of the English Public School alongside Oxbridge, cricket and lashings of ginger beer. They are wonderful historical buildings and the grounds are open to the public.
You must visit The Sir John Soanes Museum in Lincoln’s Inn Fields, often called 'the best museum in England'. Soanes was Professor of Architecture at the Royal Academy, and he was anxious that ‘amateurs and students’ should have access to his massive collection of artworks and books.

2009 marks the 250th anniversary of Scottish poet Robert Burns' birth. Burns was a poet and a lyricist and is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland.
The Burns Supper was started a few years after his death by a group of his friends; they held the supper to honour and remember Burns. The tradition caught on and the ritual of Burns Supper is now held all around the world.
His life and work will be celebrated throughout the year at many Burns-related events.
