Overview

Located in the building where the city’s first Magistrates Court was established, Bow Street Museum of Crime and Justice's former cells act as galleries and exhibit spaces, displaying information about famous criminal cases.

From the inception of the Bow Street Runners, London’s first official law enforcement service, you’ll journey through the history of the force and learn about the most important moments of its history.

Plus, you’ll hear tales from those who once worked at the station and look at artefacts which showcase fascinating investigations, famous arrests and justice being served.
