Bow Street Court & Police Station – cradle of modern policing, magistrates, and notorious defendants

Charing Cross Police Station – once one of the busiest police stations in Britain

Trafalgar Square – protests, riots, murders, and moments that shook the nation

New Scotland Yard – the nerve centre of British policing, past and present
