Witness for the Prosecution - County Hall

You are approaching County Hall, a grand Edwardian Baroque landmark that serves as a unique, living stage for Agatha Christie’s courtroom drama. This building opened in nineteen twenty-two after an eleven-year construction process interrupted by the First World War. For sixty-four years, it acted as the headquarters for London’s local government, housing the London County Council and later the Greater London Council. The production of Witness for the Prosecution takes place directly inside the building's former octagonal council chamber, where politicians once debated city policy from seats that now host an audience deeply immersed in a fictional murder trial.
