The site of the famous British police headquarters, known as New Scotland Yard, in Victoria, London, has been put up sale with a price tag of £250 million. The cash will be used to boost frontline police services. The 1960s-era complex, home to the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) since 1967, is known for its revolving triangular name sign which has served as a backdrop to thousands of TV crime reports over the years. According to the selling agents, JLL, said the MPS plans to move its head office to a smaller former police station which has been empty for the last three years. The Curtis Green site on Victoria Embankment along the River Thames will become the force's head office in 2016 and will be known simply as Scotland Yard. The property, once vacated, has views over the London houses of parliament and is being circled by a number of keen residential developers.
