New Scotland Yard, Police headquarters in Westminster, London, United Kingdom
The Curtis Green Building features stone facades, large windows, and a prominent clock tower along the Victoria Embankment near the River Thames.
Completed in 1940 by architect William Curtis Green, the structure initially served as an annex to the Norman Shaw buildings of Scotland Yard.
The building stands as a symbol of British law enforcement, housing the central command of the Metropolitan Police Service since 2016.
Visitors can reach the building via Westminster Underground Station, with the structure visible from the Thames River walkway.
The revolving sign from the previous Scotland Yard location was transferred to maintain continuity at this new headquarters.
