It was built as the headquarters of 'H' division of the Metropolitan Police Service, station-code 'HD' (the letter D depicting it to be a divisional headquarters) covering the Metropolitan Borough of Stepney. It suffered bomb damage during the blitz in 1944. On Leman Street police station opening in 1970 and being designated as divisional headquarters, it was redesignated 'HA'. Following the opening of Bethnal Green police station in 1993 (and the subsequent alignment of MPS police divisions to local authority boundaries, leading to many divisions merging), the front desk closed in 1999. The court next to it also closed, with high-profile cases being heard at Woolwich Crown Court instead.
