Temple, Middlesex
The Temple is an area in the city of London, Middlesex. The Temple was originally the precinct of the Knights Templar who erected the Temple Church (1185) in honour of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem. Following the suppression of the Knights Templar in 1312, the area became a centre of the legal profession. It consists of two Inns of Court: Inner Temple and Middle Temple. The Inns each have their own gardens, dining halls, libraries and administrative offices. Whilst within the council area of the City of London, both the Inner Temple and the Middle Temple are liberties, effectively forming independent enclaves within the city.
