You are advised to arrive early as all slots for the day are normally given out soon after the Bureau opens.
There may be times when we are very busy and we may be unable to give you advice on the day. We will always try to avoid this where ever possible.

The Bureau is an independent charity and a member of the national Citizens Advice organisation. Unlike almost all other Citizens Advice Bureau our services are not directed at clients from any particular local authority area, but come from London and beyond.
We provide free, confidential, impartial legal and procedural advice and assistance to anyone who is a litigant in person in these courts.
The Bureau has strong support from law firms based in the City of London. Employed lawyers, supported by volunteer solicitors from more than 60 firms provide free advice on civil law and family matters that are dealt with at the Courts on a daily basis.
In addition, the Bureau provides general advice on all areas of social welfare law, a Specialist Debt & Bankruptcy Advice Service (with a help desk close to the Bankruptcy Court) and the Miscarriages of Justice Support Service.
