Robin Hood Court was located a little north-east of the church of St Clement Danes in an area now occupied by the Royal Courts of Justice. It is noted in early 19th century topographical references works on London.
Lockie in his Topography of London (editions of 1810 and 1813) notes a ""Robinhood-Court, Newcastle-Court, Strand,—the first on the L., a few yards from Picket-st. or the Strand, near Temple-bar" (see gazetteers below). "Picket Street" was then the name of the Strand on the north side of the church of St Clement Danes.[1]
