The second most popular landmark is the Central Police Station. This was the first police station in Hong Kong to be setup by the British in 1864. The police station received many expansions throughout its service including a two storied Stable block and adjoining Headquarters block. The police station lies alongside the Victoria Prison and Central Magistracy. Together they stand as prime examples of British colonial architecture symbolising the roots of modern law and order in the region.
