Old Wan Chai Police Station (舊灣仔警署), also known as No. 2 Police Station, is located at No. 123 Gloucester Road (告士打道) in Wan Chai. It was originally a construction at the shore, facing directly Victoria Harbour. Because of urban development and large scale land reclamation in front of the station, it becomes an inland construction.
