EspañolPADDINGTON GREEN POLICE STATION
(Redirected from Paddington Green)
'Paddington Green Police Station' in Paddington in west central London, England is operated by the Metropolitan Police Service. It is a conventional police station, and is open to the public 24 hours a day, but it is also the most important high-security police station in the United Kingdom. The building is a typical 1960s office block, except for the 16 high-security cells in the basement.
High-profile terrorist suspects arrested across the UK are often taken to Paddington Green for interrogation. Examples include members of the IRA, the British nationals released from Guantanamo Bay, and the 21 July 2005 London bombers. The IRA bombed the telephone box outside the police station early on the morning of October 10 1992, as a demonstration aimed at the British security services. Recently, media publications have stated that the old and decrepit mid-60's Police station is "inadequate to hold terrorists".
