The revamped front counter at Islington Police Station is re-opening to the public at the end of the month.

The 24-hour counter in Tolpuddle Street where people can report crimes in person has been closed since the start of September for refurbishment work to take place.

When it re-opens on November 30, the temporary front counter at Holloway Police Station in Hornsey Road will close.

A spokesperson for Scotland Yard said: “The refurbishment work was carried out to create a more modern facility which will meet the demands of 21st century policing.

“It will also reduce the running costs of the estate.”
