About The Old Police House
- 🏛️ The Old Police House, also known as Verandah Lodge, had spartan accommodation and stables for single officers.
- 🐎 One of the police horses apparently has a knack for sitting on cars, adding some uniqueness to the place.
- 🌳 Hyde Park remains open from 5am to midnight, unlike most parks that close at dusk or shortly after. Something interesting to ponder!
- ☕ There is a great new cafe in the vicinity offering delicious food and drinks.
- 👮♀️ Although the reviewer experienced an unpleasant pickpocketing incident where their wallet wasn’t recovered, they praised the police’s quick response and empathetic nature. They did mention that better IT equipment and support would benefit them too.
- 🌟 Overall rating of 10/10 was given to this combination of park office and police station.
- 🏰 The building itself has a lovely historic charm, adding to its appeal. It is also considered friendly by visitors.
- ⚠️ While it may be quite far from any roads or parking areas, once you find it, it proves worthwhile.
