Peel House is a former Metropolitan Police training school in Regency Street, Pimlico, London SW1. It was built in the year 1907, and is in a conservation area, but not a listed building, and Westminster City Council has identified it as being "a building of unlisted merit". It was the Metropolitan Police Training School until its closure in May 1968,[1] with its candidates moved to Hendon ahead of the reopening of Hendon Police College in 1974.
In 2010, it was converted into 70 residential flats and is run by the
Daily Telegraph, that one Regency Street commented, "They [the Candy brothers] are creating a billionaires' ghetto in Knightsbridge and putting all the poorer residents here."[3][4][5]
