Embassy of the United States of America, London
The United States Embassy in London, together with the U.S. Consulates General in Edinburgh and Belfast, represent the government of the United States in the United Kingdom. The U.S. Embassy London is centrally located in the Nine Elms district, a revitalized industrial neighborhood close to the center of London that was historically part of the royal Vauxhall Gardens. Overlooking the River Thames, the Embassy is deeply connected to its immediate neighborhood, the Borough of Wandsworth, Central London, the newly constructed linear park, and improved access to public transportation and the River Thames. The embassy's new home is a modern, welcoming, safe and energy efficient building, and well suited as a 21st century diplomatic hub. The size of the Mission directly reflects the scope and complexity of the special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom. The Mission consists of 44 U.S. government entities which employ over 1000 staff. The Embassy is a physical manifestation of the long-term commitment to the special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom.
