Draft:Chancery Lane, Hong Kong

Chancery Lane (Chinese:贊善里) is a small street behind Victoria Prison that got its name from a street in West London where the Court of Chancery and many law firms are located.

The name “Chancery” could have been a promise by the colonial government to ensure fair legal representation for all individuals standing trial. The enclosing walls there have existed since 1851.

It is home to 10 Chancery Lane Gallery, a gallery specialising in contemporary art from the Asia-Pacific.
