Buyer found for New Scotland Yard, Met confirms

New Scotland Yard, which has been sold

A buyer has been found for New Scotland Yard, the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police, London's deputy mayor for police and crime has said.
Stephen Greenhalgh said the proceeds of the sale would be reinvested in frontline policing.
The office block near Victoria station has housed the Met since 1967, but is being sold off as part of a cost-cutting effort.
The force's new HQ will be the Curtis Green building on Victoria Embankment.
The mayor's office said a "preferred purchaser" had been nominated but further details including the price would be announced in December. More on this story
