Snow Hill Police Station (London)

Snow Hill Police Station (London) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

An absolutely non-notable small police station in central London with no particularly significant history or architectural merit. Its only weak claims to notability are an appearance in a videogame and the fact of being the nearest police station to the Old Bailey. There are 188 police stations in London alone (plus many others that are closed), and I can't see any reason to have articles on those other than those with some historic notability. (The one "fact" in this article not to be a piece of video-game trivia is incorrect; the building is on a side-road and the nearby major road (the A40 road) runs east-west and does not meet the river until Oxford, around 70 miles away.) Bringing it to AfD rather than {{prod}}ding in order to generate some kind of consensus on the broader issue of whether such buildings are notable. iridescent 19:26, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. I know London well, this police station is less than half a mile away from the River Thames. Snow Hill is off Farringdon Street, which is the main road leading to the bank of the River Thames, exactly as the article says. Don't know where you got the A40 road from.
