The 1872 Metropolitan Police strike was a refusal to work by 180 men of 'D' (Marylebone), 'E' (Holborn) and 'T' (Kensington) Divisions of the Metropolitan Police of London on 16 November. The strike was held in protest at the dismissal of PC Henry or Harry Goodchild (1840-1899), who had acted as a secretary coordinating meetings amongst police who were demanding improvements over pay and conditions.
