United States Embassy

The United States Embassy in Nine Elms, United Kingdom, is a place steeped in history and intrigue. Built in 1938, this impressive building was constructed as an all-purpose US government office, with a view of the River Thames, and is still a crucial part of diplomatic relations between the two nations. The Embassy is open to visitors and visitors are welcomed from 10am to 4pm, Monday through Friday. It houses a large hall for official functions, and dignitaries from both countries are frequent visitors. It is also the home of the Marine Guard detachment, providing security for the Embassy and its personnel. With its many trees and gardens, the Embassy grounds make for a pleasant visit and serene environment, suitable for a stroll or a peaceful moment of reflection.
