My windown looks out on to Hendon Police college in North London, and
a lovely dark blue Police Box, Tardis size, in perfect condition, just
by the Tube tracks.

Every day police recruits march up and down in front of it.

Has this police box been spotted before? It cannot be seen from the
road, and only briefly from the tube.

I assume it is an original.


Cheers

Theres several around, although I think the Earls Court one has moved.
There is definately one at Wetherby though - I've always meant to take
a photo of it!

The one at Earls Court was there in August and features in the new DVD,
Daphne Ashbrook in the UK.

No. It's Hendon. That's why it's called "Hendon Police College". You
can see the police box from the Northern Line tube trains between Hendon
Central and Colindale stations.

I used to go to the Newspaper Library at Colindale on a regular basis,
and always looked out for this police box as I went past on the tube.
It had clear windows and seemed to be used for storing things.

Just wondering if they train to keep the peace between
Arsenal and Tottenham.

No, it's north-west London, quite a way from both those grounds. You
a football fan then?

Hendon, N London.


If I can find someone with a digital camer I'll take a picture. It
can't be seen except from my flats.

Its in perfect condition, exactly the same as the one used in the
show. Every day police recruits march up and down in front of it,
would be good if the Dr popped out once in a while.

Where should I post the pic?

There is a police box at Bow in East London, although it has been
painted a different colour and called something else [can't remember
what]. I haven't been down that way for a couple of years, though.
