Scotland Yard

Scotland Yard was the base of the Metropolitan Police Service in London. Its full name was New Scotland Yard, but it was rarely referred to as such. (NA: Cat's Cradle: Witch Mark) The name was often used as a metonym for the service. (EDA: The Banquo Legacy) This meant that introducing oneself to be "Scotland Yard" actually referred to an officer of the Met. (DWM: The Curious Tale of Spring-Heeled Jack) In the 22nd century, Scotland Yard was known as New New Scotland Yard. (DWBIT: Pawns of the Zenith)
