A historic Edwardian architecture
Built in 1922, this former police station is one of Hong Kong’s few remaining police stations built before the war. This Grade II historic building has a unique Edwardian architectural style and striking features like a semi-circular portico at the main entrance, rusticated stuccoed walls, voussoired arches and a triangular structure at the end of the roof slope.

Expansion of the police station
Due to increasing demands on the city’s police force, a new block and a second floor on the North Wing of the main block were added in the 1950s.

The oldest police station in Kowloon
As the oldest police station in Kowloon, the building was constructed close to the old shoreline along Ferry Street, which provided easy access to the land and sea, thus putting it at the centre of the Yau Ma Tei community.

Local and international film icon
Beyond its unique architectural features, this police station has appeared in numerous local films, such as acclaimed director Johnnie To’s 2005 film Election and the 1999 drama film Metade Fumaca. It has also appeared in international blockbusters like the 2001 action comedy Rush Hour 2.
