Bow Street

Bow Street is a historic area in central London, best known for its association with the original Bow Street Police Office, established in the 18th century. It was one of the earliest patrol and detective units, pioneering organized law enforcement in the city. Today, Bow Street is primarily recognized for its location near Covent Garden and its former law enforcement significance. The name also refers to a nearby street, which retains a sense of London's rich history of policing and legal development.
