Doctors' Commons

Sherlock Holmes visited Doctors’ Commons to view the Will of Mrs Stoner/Roylott.
Doctors' Commons, also called the College of Civilians, was a society of lawyers practising civil law in London. Like the Inns of Court of the common lawyers, the society had buildings with rooms where its members lived and worked and a big library. Court proceedings of the civil law courts were also held in Doctors' Commons. There were also offices where Wills were deposited and could be searched.
