Former police station, Leman Street
Image: © Stephen Richards Taken: 4 Oct 2015
Built in Portland stone by Amelia Dunand of the Scotland Yard Chief Architect & Surveyors Department (an unlikely concept in the early C21st). It is on the site of one of the Metropolitan Police's earliest police stations where the Jack the Ripper investigation was based. It is no longer a police station in the sense that one can walk in and report a crime, but it is still used by the Met.
