Royal Courts of Justice, The Strand, London WC2A 2LL.
Civil Appeals Listing office is at 011 44 20 7936 6195
or 6891.
Nearest tube station is Temple. If you walk in the
main entrance (no cameras or tape recorders allowed --
leave them in your hotel) the courtroom assigments are
posted on two large glass-fronted boards just beyond
the magnetometers/X-rays and reception desk.
Don't think the docket is online, but the court's web
site is http://www.courtservice.gov.uk and you can
have a look. Anyway, postponements are common, so even
if you have a particular case in mind, it might not
happen.

Of particular current interest is a case not on
appeal, but at first instance -- however it's been a
long-running issue in the UK, US, Canada, Australia
and elsewhere: see

The Lloyd's fraud case (Jaffray v. Lloyd's) is going
on at 81 Chancery Lane, Court #22. Lots of Americans
involved in that case, which will go on for weeks, but
not so long (nor so colourfully) as the McLibel case,
the longest in British history:
