Former District Police Station

The former Highgate District Police Station and Justice Room, built around 1850 for the Metropolitan Police, is now used as shops and offices. It is constructed of yellow stock brick with brick quoins and has two storeys plus basements. The building features a double front with three windows and a single-storey, one-bay extension to the left. A central projecting portico showcases rusticated brickwork, a keystone, a bracketed cornice, and a blocking course, along with a round-arched doorway that includes a fanlight and double panelled doors. The ground floor has 20th-century reproduction wooden shopfronts that mimic 19th-century styles. The first floor displays brick architraves and keystones above segmental-arched recessed sash windows, along with a bracketed stucco cornice and a brick blocking course. The interior has not been inspected. Historically, the building stopped functioning as a police station in 1902 when a new station was established on Archway Road.
