The former Central London County Court near Regent’s Park has been turned into a £6.75m ($9m) luxury home by residential developer Amazon Property.

In its heyday, the Courthouse’s grand rooms dealt with personal injury, landlord-tenant disputes and defamation cases.

Famous defamation cases included Baron Aldington vs Count Nikolai Tolstoy (1989), McDonalds vs Greenpeace (1990), David Irving vs Penguin Books (1996) and the Lance Armstrong vs Sunday Times (2004).

The County Court relocated to the Thomas More Building on the Strand and the vacant Regent’s Park chambers at No.14 Park Crescent were sold to Amazon Property.
