Middle Temple is one of the four Inns of Court, which have the exclusive right to Call their members to the Bar of England & Wales, i.e., to admit those who have fulfilled the necessary qualifications to the degree of Barrister, which entitles them, after a period of vocational training, to practise as Barristers. The Inn is a professional membership organisation as well as a property landlord with a substantial property portfolio in central London. The estate consists of an interesting and historically important collection of buildings ranging from Middle Temple Hall built in 1570 through to post war properties constructed in sympathetic style in the 1950s.
