As for Sun Hill ... maybe the Metropolitan Police could buy it. I doubt it would take much work to convert it from
being a fake police station used as the main set in a long running TV show, into a real police station for actual
police work, or failing that, perhaps as a mock up police station used for training purposes

Well they have 2 mock stations, one at Hendon the other at Gravesend. A real station would be out of the question due to the spending cuts and there being 2 stations within a mile of the set.

Sun Hill has actually been used by the Metropolitan Police for actual police training, although don't know when it was last used for this.


It was actually for the Merton (VW) branch of the Metropolitan Police cadets. They used it to teach procedure in a sterile environment.

The studios (and I hope the sets) are saved!
