Visit London’s First Police Station | Bow Street Police Museum

The brand new Bow Street Police Museum opened last week in London's Covent Garden. Not only is a great to have a new cultural destination but the site itself is also historic, essentially where official policing began in London!

Join me for a quick history of the police in London as well as a look inside the new museum and some of the best things you can spot when you visit.

I was invited to a press preview of the museum and so the internal images were taken then. Historic images reproduced are in the public domain and licensed for reuse under creative commons and the maps of Bow Street are from www.layersoflondon.org - © Maptiler and OpenStreetMap contributors
