27 Astonishing Things You Didn't Know About London
25. Trafalgar Square Has The UK's Smallest Police Station
Everyone delights in the beautiful fountains of Trafalgar Square (one of London's most popular spots), but there's a building near them at the southeast corner that's usually overlooked. It's a small, round lamp with a minuscule room in its base. The building was originally an auxiliary police station, used as a lookout point to monitor people in unruly crowds. Sadly, it now stores cleaning equipment for the council.
