The Honourable Society of the Middle Temple was established in the 14th century. It is situated on London Embankment, on the original site of the Knights Templar. The Society itself has a rich history, containing members such as Sir Walter Raleigh. The building also boasts historical visitors such as Queen Elizabeth 1st and Edward VII. More recently, the Middle Temple building has also been home to some famous guests, with scenes from the Harry Potter films taking place there. The society itself is now a legal education establishment, playing a key role in the education of those wishing to become barristers in England and Wales.
