Yard Moves to New 20 Story HQ on Embankment
The Metropolitan Police announce a new headquarters on the Embankment a 20 storey glass and steel tower 650 yards east of the current site with a 9 storey and a 6 storey block. The move aims to provide a more efficient detective force base and will repurpose the old Scotland Yard premises for Colonial and Commonwealth Relations. The site has historic ties to English sovereignty and served as the police headquarters since 1829.
