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. (PROSE: Cat's Cradle: Witch Mark) The name was often used as a metonym for the service. (PROSE: The Banquo Legacy) This meant that introducing oneself to be "Scotland Yard" actually referred to an officer of the Met.
