"New Scotland Yard" is the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police - the police service for Greater London, England. The current "New Scotland Yard" is actually the second building with this name; the first was converted into offices for the UK Parliament. The name "Scotland Yard" comes from a small street off Whitehall in London, where the Scottish Embassy was based prior to the political union of Scotland and England in 1707. The Metropolitan Police later had its headquarters in this street (until the 1880s, when the first New Scotland Yard was built).
No London. It is where London Metropolitan Police have their headquarters
The headquarters of the Metropolitan Police is so called because they were originally located in a street called Scotland Yard in London. The street is still there, but the police have moved to bigger premises in the Victoria area. Scotland Yard was originally where the Scottish Ambassador lived in London before the political union of England and Scotland.

Scotland Yard
Scotland Yard was the first headquarters of London's Metropolitan Police Force.
Scotland Yard is a place in London, England. The name dates from a time (before 1707) when Scotland and England were still separate countries each with their own king, court and government. As a result the Scottish kings kept their own embassy in London, just as they did in any other foreign country, with their own ambassadors and representatives. The English king granted them an area for their embassy. This area which they inhabited in London was known as "Scotland Yard". In Victorian times the building which was erected on the same spot was known as Scotland Yard and it was occupied by the police force. Soon the name "Scotland Yard" became synonymous with the Metropolitan Police force. Nowadays a new office has been erected on the same place, again occupied by the police, but known as "New Scotland Yard" I believe that the building of New Scotland Yard is not open to the public. The Metropolitan Police force who occupy New Scotland Yard do have a collection of crime-related ephemera but this is housed in another part of London.
