Can you visit Scotland Yard?
Posted on Sep 04, 2025 / Travel
Sort of. The main police HQ isn’t open for casual tours, but you can check out the iconic rotating “New Scotland Yard” sign near Westminster. It’s a classic photo stop for anyone into crime history or detective stories. London also has the Crime Museum (not fully public, though bits of it sometimes go on exhibition) and walking tours that touch on Scotland Yard cases. If you’re into Sherlock Holmes vibes, it’s worth the detour. But don’t expect CSI-level behind-the-scenes access.
