Cannon Row Police Station was responsible for all of the major ceremonial occasions in the Capital from 1902 plus the many large demonstrations that took place most weeks on Trafalgar Square, Whitehall, Parliament Square and Downing Street. 

The security of the Prime Minister's residence No 10, Downing Street was a major 24/7 policing commitment.
