Paddington Green Police Station

High-profile terrorist suspects arrested across the UK were often taken to Paddington Green Police Station for interrogation, and holding until escorted to a court of law.

Suspects who have been held there include members of the IRA, the British nationals released from Guantanamo Bay, and the 21 July 2005 London bombers.

[1][2] In 2007, a joint parliamentary human rights committee stated that the old and decrepit mid-1960s police station was "plainly inadequate" to hold such high-risk prisoners.

[4] In later years, suspects had access to an audio-visual system on which they could watch films and listen to music whilst incarcerated.

In February 2020, the closed station was occupied by anarchist group the Green Anti-Capitalist Front, who said they intended to turn the space into a community centre.
