From the Wikipedia article
Bow Street Magistrates' Court (formerly Bow Street Police Court) and Police Station each became one of the most famous magistrates' courts and police stations in England. Over the court's 266-year existence it occupied various buildings on Bow Street in Westminster, immediately north-east of Covent Garden, the last of which opened in 1881 and incorporated the police station previously on another site on the street. It closed in 2006 and its work moved to a set of four magistrates' courts: Westminster, Camberwell Green, Highbury Corner and the City of Westminster Magistrates' Court. The senior magistrate at Bow Street until 2000 was the Chief Metropolitan Stipendiary Magistrate. The building is grade II listed, - the court areas now form a hotel and the station part houses the Bow Street Museum of Crime and Justice.
