Norman Shaw Building
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Norman Shaw Building (formerly known as New Scotland Yard) is a building in Westminster, London. Built by renowned architect Richard Norman Shaw between 1887–1900, it originally was the location of Scotland Yard (the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police) until 1967, but has since been given its current name and from 1979 has been used as Parliamentary offices; augmenting limited space in the Palace of Westminster and surroundings.
The building is in red and white brick in the Victorian Gothic style, and is located upon Victoria Embankment next-door to Portcullis House.
