Bow Street Museum of Crime and Justice

The Bow Street Museum of Crime and Justice is a museum of policing and criminal justice housed on the ground floor of the former police station on Bow Street in Covent Garden, London. It presents Bow Street's unique place in London's police history, alongside the story of policing and criminal justice in the area from the eighteenth century until the station's closure in 1992. From its opening in 2021 until 2025 it was known as the Bow Street Police Museum. The name change removes any potential confusion with the Metropolitan Police's own public display of historic artefacts which occupied four galleries and five other rooms on the third floor of Bow Street Police Station from 1949 until the 1980s, before moving to West Brompton and then Sidcup – a cutlass, rattle and other objects from that collection are on loan to the current Bow Street Museum.
