The Newham Story website tells us about North Woolwich Police Station:
North Woolwich Police Station stands at the junction of Albert Road and Pier Road and was built in 1904. The station was "K" Division of the Metropolitan Police. Kelly's Directory for 1902-03 gives the establishment as four sergeants and 37 constables.
Some notable officers were PCs Greenoff and Newbury. The former died as a result of injuries received at the Brunner-Mond explosion of 1917 and the latter was killed in action with the Royal Marine Light Infantry in 1918. Also associated with this station was PC Alan Godfrey who joined in 1961 and was a home beat officer for nearly 30 years.
Type: Sub-Station (not always manned)

I have had NO problems with taking photos of Police stations but please respect the fact that some services may be nervous about having their photo taken and inquire as to why... I have found that once things are explained they are more than happy to let me photograph the building, crest, chief... (they are people too!)
