The Three HQs
On the left is the rear entrance to 4 Whitehall Place the original headquarters of the Metropolitan Police. At the rear in Great Scotland Yard was a small Police Station. Through the arch can be seen Whitehall and the columns at the front of the Admiralty building. The centre image shows the building on Victoria Embankment which everybody knows as New Scotland Yard and dating from 1890. It is now known as the Norman Shaw building after its architect. The image on the right is the current New Scotland Yard in Victoria Street which took over from its predecessor in 1967, I do not know the name of the architect and I cannot be bothered to find out, it is a terrible matchbox of a building.
