Background
History
on 22 June 1966 by Patricia Hornsby-Smith, the local Member of Parliament for Chislehurst, in which Sidcup then fell.]] The 17-storey building was completed in 1966 and is the tallest building in the borough. The building was purchased by the Metropolitan Police in 2005 at a cost of £34.6 million. At the time the Met occupied around 45% of the building, with the rest leased to other tenants. Since 19 March 2012 its ground floor has also housed Sidcup's police station. A refurbishment was completed in 2020. The Metropolitan Police Museum, previously located in an annexe of the Empress State Building in West Brompton, relocated to Marlowe House in October 2022.
