MAIL ON SUNDAY: They have thought of everything. The walls are a cheery yellow, a colour designed to give an illusion of space. The chair and the thick mattress are an equally bright blue.
Daylight filters in through a Perspex domed window in the ceiling; there's air-conditioning, a private WC and basin, a desk, storage for clothes and books and even access to music and films. It could be any superior budget hotel, and it's in a great location - just ten minutes from London's Oxford Street.
The only thing that gives away that this isn't designed for weekend breaks is the 2in-thick steel door, the sound-deadening material, and a CCTV camera monitoring your every move (except for the 'exclusion zone' while using the en suite facilities).
These are the newly refurbished cells that make up the secure custody suite at Paddington Green police station. Whenever a terrorist suspect is taken into custody it's to 'a central London location'. It's no secret that it's here but cameras have never been allowed in before.
