Abstract: This Special Section presents a conceptual walking tour of law’s places and spaces in Central London, created by members of the Law and the Humanities Hub (LHub) at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies. By mapping diverse sites—from bookshops and cab shelters to courthouses and administrative offices—this map explores how law and place are mutually constitutive, shaping and reshaping one another. Combining legal geography with historical and cultural analysis, it invites readers to see law beyond formal institutions, tracing its often-hidden spatial inscriptions across the city. The result is both a guide and a provocation to rethink law’s spatial—and temporal—dimensions. Keywords: law; space; place; legal geography; Central London; lawscapes.
