HMP Wormwood Scrubs, Category B men's prison in White City, London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, United Kingdom.
The prison compound includes five main wings labeled A through E, accommodating approximately 1,200 inmates in both single and shared cells.
Construction of the facility began in 1874 using convict labor, with the permanent Victorian-style structure completed in 1891 under architect Edmund Frederick Du Cane's design.
The educational program offers courses in essential subjects like mathematics and English, along with vocational training in catering, barbering, and rail-track maintenance.
Visitors must be listed on the inmate's approved contact list and schedule appointments at least two days before arrival with valid identification documents.
During World War II, the prison building served as headquarters for MI5 intelligence operations from 1939 to 1940, requiring the temporary relocation of inmates.
