Wapping Police Station Visit

Saturday saw several members of London Branch, past and present, enjoying a visit (planned!) to Wapping Police Station (the home of the Met's Marine Policing Unit).



Although it's been through several name changes, it's been around for over 200 years, which pre-dates the Bow Street runners. Hearing of the disasters on the river and murder most foul on the streets of East London was not a usual Saturday afternoon, but the museum with its relics of times past and the stories connected to them recounted by the knowledgeable curator, Bob, made it a day to remember.

A curry in Brick Lane rounded off a very pleasant day. Many thanks to Jim Moroney for organising this.
