Canon Row Police Station

Replacing a leased station on King Street in St James's, it opened on 21 July 1902 in an extension to the Norman Shaw Buildings, then the home of New Scotland Yard.

The building is listed at Grade II*, and is no longer in use as a police station.

[2] Officers from the station investigated many of the 20th century’s most notable crimes; Dr Crippen was held in the cells at Canon Row after his arrest; and the cells were also used for the safe storage of the Jules Rimet Trophy following its recovery after the theft of the cup prior to the 1966 World Championship.

[2] In 1985 the station moved to the Curtis Green Building, retaining the name 'Canon Row'.

[3] It finally closed in 1992 on its merger with Bow Street Police Station to form Charing Cross Police Station at the former Charing Cross Hospital site on Agar Street.
