The meeting point for all tours is the Undercroft of the Chapel. Please note that Lincoln’s Inn is unable to provide storage facilities for visitor’s bags, cases and coats. These must be carried by visitors to the site at all times. Lincoln’s Inn is a large site comprising old buildings and not all areas are permanently accessible to disabled users. However, special access arrangements can usually be made if we are advised at least 2 days in advance.
There are no tours in August or at weekends, and certain other days are also impractical, but there is scope for booking some months in advance.
Additionally, there is a Corporate Event Upsale - Talk or Tour, which is an add-on tour or talk to any event being held at the Inn. Please contact the Events Manager, Liz Hounslow: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for further information.
