Aylesbury Crown Court Listings: One List, Two Towns
Aylesbury Crown Court publishes one daily list that covers two buildings. Some courtrooms sit on Walton Street in Aylesbury, and others sit at Amersham Law Courts on King George V Road in Amersham.
The list labels each courtroom with its building. Walton Street appears simply as "Aylesbury". The second building appears as "Amersham Law Courts". So a hearing at Aylesbury Crown Court can still mean a trip to Amersham, and the court name on your letter does not settle the town.
Court Listings Today UK has stored every Aylesbury daily list since early October 2026. Between 6 and 15 October 2026, the lists held 223 hearings. Both buildings sat on every one of those eight days, and roughly one hearing in three was at Amersham.
Daily totals swung widely in that period. The quietest list, on Tuesday 6 October, held 20 hearings, while Friday 9 October held 40 across five courtrooms. Between four and six rooms sat on each listed day. A heavy list on your date means a busier building and a longer security queue, but your own room may still run to time.
| Courtroom | Label on the list | Town | Hearings, 6 to 15 Oct 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Court 1 | Aylesbury | Aylesbury (Walton Street) | 46 |
| Court 2 | Aylesbury | Aylesbury (Walton Street) | 57 |
| Court 3 | Aylesbury | Aylesbury (Walton Street) | 27 |
| Court 4 | Amersham Law Courts | Amersham | 30 |
| Court 5 | Amersham Law Courts | Amersham | 48 |
| Court 6 | Aylesbury | Aylesbury (Walton Street) | 15 |
Court numbers ran across both buildings in that period. Courts 4 and 5 were the Amersham rooms, and Court 6 sat at Walton Street on some days but not every day. HMCTS can change which room sits where, so treat the table as a guide to recent lists and read the label on the day.
Which Building Does Your Listing Point To?
Your entry on the daily list names the building. Read it before you set off.
- Open the list for your hearing date in the panel near the top of this page.
- Find your case reference, which is printed on your letter or witness notice. Jurors can skip to the juror section below.
- Read the courtroom beside it, then the building label: "Aylesbury" or "Amersham Law Courts".
- Check the time. A blank time means no fixed time has been given yet, so ask the court office when to arrive.
- Look again on the morning of the hearing, because rooms can swap overnight.
A letter that names only Court 4 or Court 5 deserves a second look. In October 2026 those rooms were in Amersham. If your paperwork and the list disagree, ring the court office before setting off. Both buildings share one office, so one call settles it.
| Building | Address | What sits there |
|---|---|---|
| Walton Street, Aylesbury | Walton Street, Aylesbury, HP21 7FT | The main building, shown as "Aylesbury" on the daily list. In October 2026 lists, Courts 1, 2, 3 and 6 sat here. |
| Amersham Law Courts | King George V Road, Amersham, HP6 5AJ | The second building, shown as "Amersham Law Courts" on the same list. In October 2026 lists, Courts 4 and 5 sat here. |
Most visitors need only one of these addresses. Solicitors and barristers, though, can have hearings in both towns on the same morning, so the label matters to them too.
Why Do Old Directories Still Say Market Square?
Aylesbury's Crown Court sat in County Hall on Market Square until March 2018. Some websites, sat-nav entries and old letters still use that address.
The Old Courtroom in County Hall
County Hall is a Grade II* listed building on the town's main square. According to Buckinghamshire Council's historic environment record, building work began in 1722 but stalled for lack of money, and the hall was finished in 1740. It housed the county's Assizes and Quarter Sessions for centuries before the Crown Court era.
Fire badly damaged the old courtroom on 9 February 1970. Afterwards, the room was recreated in facsimile, with some salvaged original work built back in. Buckinghamshire's heritage record describes the rebuilt room as a close evocation of the early 18th-century original. The court used it for almost five more decades, until the building closed as a court in 2018.
The ceremonial closing at Market Square took place on Friday 2 March 2018, local reports at the time said. From then on, Crown Court hearings moved to Walton Street. The old hall is no longer a court, so do not go there for a hearing.
| Name or address you may see | What it means today |
|---|---|
| Aylesbury Crown Court, Market Square | Former court in County Hall. Closed as a court in March 2018. |
| Aylesbury Crown Court, Walton Street, HP21 7FT | The current main building. Shown as "Aylesbury" on the list. |
| Amersham Law Courts, King George V Road, HP6 5AJ | Second building on the same list. Shown by name. |
| Aylesbury Magistrates' Court | Set to close at the end of June 2016, with its work going to High Wycombe. |
Where Aylesbury's Magistrates' Court Went
Why does the magistrates' court closure matter here? A Legal Aid Agency notice on GOV.UK about duty solicitor rotas set the full closure of Aylesbury Magistrates' Court for the end of June 2016. Its trial courts and new charges were to move to High Wycombe. So a first court appearance for an Aylesbury-area charge does not happen at Walton Street.
Getting to Walton Street and to Amersham Law Courts
Both buildings have a railway station in town. Plan the route for the building on your listing, then allow time for security on arrival.
Arriving at Walton Street
Walton Street is the address for Courts 1, 2, 3 and 6 in recent lists. Aylesbury station, managed by Chiltern Railways, is the town's main rail stop. For the last part of the trip, use a map app with the postcode HP21 7FT, which belongs to the court itself.
Find a Court says there is no parking at the building. Instead, it points drivers to the paid Walton Street Car Park nearby. The building also has a small number of disabled bays, and Find a Court advises calling ahead to check they are free.
Expect security screening at the entrance of either building. Bags go through a scanner, and staff may hold back sharp items. Most rooms start at 10am, so the queue is usually longest just before then. The site's security checks guide lists what tends to cause delays, and arriving well before your listed time gives you room to find the courtroom.
Arriving at Amersham Law Courts
Amersham Law Courts is on King George V Road, postcode HP6 5AJ. Amersham station has Chiltern Railways trains towards Aylesbury and London Marylebone. Metropolitan line Underground trains also stop there.
The Amersham page on Find a Court gives no parking details. If you need to drive, check local parking before the day. Also tell the court office early if you need step-free access, because the two buildings have different facilities.
Directions from your location: Google Maps · Apple Maps
A juror or witness travelling between the two towns can use the Chiltern line that links Aylesbury and Amersham. Check the timetable on the day, since engineering work sometimes changes services.
When Does the Aylesbury List Appear and When Do Hearings Start?
HMCTS publishes the Aylesbury Crown Daily List on its Court and Tribunal Hearings service, normally on the afternoon before. This page copies it and shows the update time.
In mid October 2026, the list for Thursday 15 October was last updated at about 3.50pm on the Wednesday. The Friday list followed at about 3.40pm on the Thursday. Both times are UK time. So a mid-afternoon check usually shows the next day, but late changes still happen.
On 16 October 2026, the HMCTS service showed only daily lists for Aylesbury. It did not show a firm or warned list for this court. If you are waiting for a trial date, your solicitor or the listing office is the place to ask. The site's guides to the firm list and the warned list explain how those lists work at courts that publish them.
Most Aylesbury hearings are set for 10am. Some rooms also give later fixed times, and a few entries carry no time at all.
| Listed start, 6 to 15 Oct 2026 | Hearings |
|---|---|
| 10am | 117 |
| 11am | 25 |
| Noon | 23 |
| 2pm | 29 |
| 3pm | 10 |
The figures cover 223 hearings, and the rest had half-hour times or no time. A 10am listing means the court can call you from 10am. It does not promise a start at that minute. Arrive early enough to clear security, because a trial, a sentence and three short hearings can share one room's morning.
What Kind of Hearings Fill the Aylesbury Crown Court List?
Trials led the Aylesbury lists in early October 2026, followed by plea hearings, mentions and sentences. The table counts hearing types from 6 to 15 October 2026.
| Hearing type on the list | Hearings |
|---|---|
| For Trial | 52 |
| Plea and Trial Preparation | 38 |
| For Mention | 37 |
| For Sentence | 34 |
| Committal for Sentence | 21 |
| Further Case Management | 9 |
| Bail and other applications | 12 |
| Breach of Order | 5 |
| Pre-Trial Review and Review | 8 |
| No type given | 5 |
| For Plea | 2 |
"Committal for Sentence" means a magistrates' court has sent the case up for the Crown Court to sentence. A "Plea and Trial Preparation" hearing is usually the first Crown Court hearing, where the defendant enters a plea.
The lists also show a few rarer types. On 16 October 2026 they included two ground rules hearings, which plan how a vulnerable witness will give evidence. One list carried an application under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.
Most cases are brought by the Crown Prosecution Service. Even so, 63 of the 223 hearings named a prosecutor other than the CPS.
Judges also vary by room and by day. On the lists for 15 and 16 October 2026, part-time Recorders sat alongside His and Her Honour Judges in both buildings. The list names the judge for each room, but a judge can change at short notice. The Crown Court daily list guide explains the other columns, from the case reference to the hearing type.
Video Links, Custody and Other Notes Beside an Entry
Many Aylesbury entries carry a short note in the listing notes column. Between 6 and 15 October 2026, 96 of the 223 hearings mentioned CVP, the courts' video system.
The note tells you who is expected in the room. Read it alongside your own paperwork, because the court letter or your solicitor has the final word.
| Note on the Aylesbury list | What it usually means for you |
|---|---|
| All parties to attend | Everyone attends in person at the building shown. |
| All parties via CVP | The hearing runs by video link. Check your own notice before deciding not to travel. |
| Prosecution via CVP | Only the prosecutor joins by video. Others attend in person. |
| Counsel via CVP | A barrister joins by video. |
| Defendant to be produced | The defendant is in custody and is brought to court by the escort service. |
| Defendant excused | The defendant does not need to attend that hearing. |
Families often find the custody note useful. "To be produced" tells you a relative is in custody and should be brought to the building. Some custody hearings run by prison video link instead, so ask the defence solicitor how the defendant will appear before you travel.
Reporting Restrictions and Names on the Aylesbury List
About one Aylesbury hearing in four carried a reporting restriction note between 6 and 15 October 2026. The exact figure was 60 of 223 shown hearings.
A restriction limits what anyone can publish about a case. It does not usually stop the public sitting in court. Still, never post names or details from a restricted case online, even in a private group. The site's public gallery guide covers what you can and cannot share.
Court Listings Today UK never shows first names. Entries with a restriction note still appear, with a "Reporting restrictions may apply" badge and no surname. Entries marked as restricted, and youth cases, are left out altogether and are not in these counts.
If your own name appears and you want it removed, use the removal request form. A listing is a hearing, not a finding of guilt.
Is Your Case Missing From Today's List?
Check the other building first. A case you expected at Walton Street may be listed under "Amersham Law Courts", or the reverse.
Other common reasons include these:
- The next day's list has not appeared yet, because it usually lands mid-afternoon.
- The hearing is a first appearance, which happens at a magistrates' court, not at Walton Street.
- The case involves a youth or is marked as restricted, which this page leaves out.
- The hearing moved to another date and was taken off the list.
If none of these fit, call the court office with your case reference ready. The site's guide on why a case is not listed explains the general causes.
A case can also appear late. A blank time slot or an added entry may arrive after the first afternoon version. So refresh the list on the morning itself.
What Should Witnesses, Jurors and Families Expect Here?
Whatever your role, read your own paperwork for the building, then confirm it on the list.
Witnesses
Your witness notice names the building. The Witness Service can arrange a pre-trial visit and support on the day. The two Find a Court pages list different Witness Service phone numbers, so use the one for your building. The witness guide explains the day in general.
Some witnesses get extra help to give evidence. Before such a trial, the judge may hold a ground rules hearing with the lawyers to agree how questions will be asked. Two appeared on the Aylesbury list for 16 October 2026. Witnesses do not normally attend these, but the police officer in the case or the Witness Service can explain what was agreed, such as a screen or a video link.
Jurors
A jury summons says where to report. Jurors at Aylesbury Crown Court may sit at Walton Street or at Amersham. If the summons is unclear, contact the Jury Central Summoning Bureau or the court office before your first day.
Families and Supporters
You can usually sit in the public seating of an open hearing at either building, though seating can be limited in smaller rooms. The family members guide covers what to expect, from security to sentencing.
Defendants
Your bail notice or solicitor gives the building and time. If you cannot attend, tell your solicitor at once. The defendant's guide covers the day in more detail.
Contact Details and Facilities for Both Buildings

Below, the facilities panel describes Walton Street. Amersham Law Courts has its own Find a Court page, and some arrangements there differ, including hearing support and the Witness Service line.
| Facility | Detail |
|---|---|
| No parking | There are no parking facilities at this building, however paid off site parking is available within 500 metres in the Walton Street Car Park, Aylesbury HP21 7FZ. |
| Disabled access | If you have a disability and need help coming to a hearing, please contact the court or tribunal to make sure the facilities meet your specific needs or to discuss a reasonable adjustment you need. There is wheelchair access via a lift to reception and access to Court 1. In addition two disabled parking spaces are on site – please call the Court ahead of travel to ensure they are vacant. |
| Hidden Disabilities Sunflower network | Lanyards available on request. |
| Assistance dogs | Assistance dogs are welcome |
| Hearing Loop | The building has a portable hearing enhancement system available by prior arrangement. Please contact the court by telephone or email to let us know of your requirements. |
| Refreshments | Drinks and snacks foods are available from on site vending machines, but there are no catering facilities. |
| Interview room | There is a private interview room available located outside Court 2 and cannot be booked in advance. |
| Video facilities | Court/hearing room video conferencing facilities and prison to court video link facilities are available with three booths on site (by prior arrangement) |
| Witness service | www.witnessservice.org.uk |
If you need an adjustment, such as a hearing loop or step-free route, ask early. Name the building in your request, since each site has its own layout. The court office can also confirm, a day or two before, that your hearing is still at the building shown, which can save a wasted trip between the two towns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Amersham Law Courts Part of Aylesbury Crown Court?
Yes. Amersham Law Courts on King George V Road is a second building used by Aylesbury Crown Court. Its Find a Court page gives the same Crown Court location code, 401, and the same Aylesbury enquiries contacts. Its hearings appear on the Aylesbury daily list, labelled "Amersham Law Courts".
Where Was Aylesbury Crown Court Before Walton Street?
Before March 2018 the Crown Court sat in County Hall on Market Square, a Grade II* listed building finished in 1740. Its ceremonial closing took place on Friday 2 March 2018, and Crown Court work moved to Walton Street. Directions or letters giving Market Square are out of date.
Can I See Tomorrow's Aylesbury Crown Court Cases Today?
Usually, yes, from the afternoon. In mid October 2026, HMCTS last updated each next-day list between about 3.40pm and 3.55pm UK time. Pick the next day in the list panel on this page. Changes can still happen overnight, so check again in the morning.
Does Aylesbury Crown Court Hear Magistrates' Court Cases?
No. Aylesbury Magistrates' Court was due to close at the end of June 2016, with its work moving to High Wycombe. First hearings for most Aylesbury-area charges now start at a magistrates' court. Cases reach Aylesbury Crown Court later, for trial, sentence or appeal.
Can Anyone Watch a Trial at Aylesbury or Amersham?
Most Crown Court hearings are open to the public, at both buildings. Ask the staff or usher which courtroom has a public seating area and whether it has space. A judge can close part of a hearing, and youth or sexual offence cases often carry extra rules.
What Does CVP Mean on the Aylesbury List?
CVP stands for Cloud Video Platform, the video system courts use for remote hearings. "All parties via CVP" means everyone joins by video. "Prosecution via CVP" means only the prosecutor joins remotely. If you are unsure whether to attend in person, ask your solicitor or the listing office.
How Do I Find Out the Result of an Aylesbury Crown Court Case?
The daily list shows hearings, never outcomes. For a case you are part of, ask your solicitor, the Witness Service or the court office. For other cases, local news reports are the usual public source. Results do not appear on this site or on the HMCTS list service.
Can I Search the Aylesbury List by a Defendant's Name?
No. This site does not show first names and cannot be searched by name. Use the case reference on your letter and look for it under each courtroom at both buildings. Your solicitor or the court office can confirm the courtroom too.
Who Do I Contact About a Hearing at Amersham?
Contact the Aylesbury Crown Court office. Both Find a Court pages give the same Aylesbury enquiries line and listing office, so there is no separate Amersham office to call. The Witness Service number differs between the two pages, so use the one on the Amersham page.
How Busy Is Aylesbury Crown Court on a Typical Day?
In lists from 6 to 15 October 2026, the court had between 20 and 40 hearings a day across four to six courtrooms. Friday 9 October was the busiest day in that period. Numbers change from week to week, so check the live list for your date.
Before You Set Off for Aylesbury or Amersham
Open the list for your date and find your case reference. Then read the courtroom, the building label and the time, in that order.
"Aylesbury" means Walton Street, HP21 7FT, and "Amersham Law Courts" means King George V Road, HP6 5AJ. Check the list again on the morning, because rooms and times can change overnight. If anything still looks wrong, call the court office before travelling.
