Royal Victoria Patriotic Schools, reception centre in Wandsworth, south London, the point through which all foreign arrivals from occupied Europe had to pass, and were vetted by
MI5 to make sure they were not Axis
spies. Normal stays were for two or three nights; doubtful cases might be held for weeks. It was known officially from 1942 as the London Reception Centre.
