Since the establishment of the London Metropolitan Police Headquarters in 1829, Scotland Yard, located at 4 Whitehall Street, has been temporarily transformed into police headquarters.
Speaking of the origin of the name Scotland Yard, we must trace back to the 15th century during the Tudor period, when it was the residence of Scottish envoys and nobility in London and once served as the London palace for the King of Scotland.
However, although Scotland Yard was considered one of the best houses in London centuries ago, after the Kingdom of Scotland and the Kingdom of England merged into the Kingdom of Great Britain, Scotland Yard gradually became a government office and dormitory for the Foreign Office, and by the 18th century, even the bureaucrats of the Foreign Office were reluctant to live in these old houses, so Scotland Yard was converted into stables and warehouses.
