Welcome to Murder Mile, a true crime podcast, an audio-guided walk, featuring many of London's untold, unsolved and long-forgotten murders. All set within and beyond the West End.

Today's episode is about a memorial to a police constable who died in the line of duty.

On the plaque has inscribed his name, his rank and a few details about his tragic demise. But one key detail is missing,

as there is also a man with a name and a rank, who some say deserves to be remembered too.

Murder-Marlies researched using the original police files. It contains moments of satire, shock and grisly details,

and as a dramatization of the real events,

it may also feature loud and realistic sounds,

so that, no matter where you listen to this podcast,

you'll feel like you're actually there.

My name is Michael. I am your tour guide, and this is Murder Mile.

Episode 110, a memorial to the fallen. Today... Today, I'm standing in Hyde Park, W2.

A leisurely stroll west from the site of the Hyde Park bombing.

A short door-door south from the three possible robberies or murders of Vincent Patrick Carey.

A brisk walk north from where John George Haig toasted his old pal William McSwan

before dissolving his body in acid.

And a little saunter from the ice disaster on the serpentine.

Coming soon, murder mile.

Perched near the border of Hyde Park in Kensington Gardens is the old police house.

A three-story, brown brick, Queen Anne-style lodge built in 1902.

With crisp white windowsills, a neatly manicured garden and Victorian street lamps. If anything, it looks more like a manor house

than it does a police station. The Royal Parks Keepers, as they were known until 1974, were a police constabulary separate from the Metropolitan Police,

who were there to keep peace and order in London's Royal Parks.
