Met Police Unit Special Patrol Group (SPG)

This artwork is a detailed tribute to one of the Metropolitan Police’s most recognisable historic units: the Special Patrol Group (SPG).

Featuring iconic SPG-era equipment and vehicles, including the classic Ford police van, riot helmets and visors, and unmistakable headwear, the composition captures a distinctive period in London policing history. The arrangement reflects the atmosphere of an era when public order policing was evolving rapidly, and specialist units became a visible part of the capital’s streets.

Painted by retired Metropolitan Police Senior Artist Jan Szymczuk (By Boris), this realistic piece is both a historical record and a collector’s tribute, created with close attention to detail and authenticity. It will appeal to serving and retired officers, police history enthusiasts, and collectors of Metropolitan Police memorabilia.

Available in two frame sizes, with two mount options, making it ideal for display in a home office, study, or private collection.
