Sitting on the corner of Yen Chow Street and Lai Chi Kok Road, the Sham Shui Po Police Station has been looking after the neighbourhood since 1925.
The Sham Shui Po Police Station was built in 1925 to combat rising crime rates in what used to be one of Hong Kong’s worst squatter areas. This pre-war Neo-Classical façade mixes Western and Chinese architectural elements, with deep verandas, decorative balustrades, keystone arches, and a pagoda-style roof covered with Chinese tiles. The building comprises five three-storey structures arranged on the corner of Yen Chow Street and Lai Chi Kok Road to offer a good vantage point of its neighbourhood. Though its designation has been changed to a sub-station since the 60s, the Sham Shui Po Police Station is still serving its community to this day.
