A Greek embassy in London was established shortly after Greek independence in 1828.

From 1921, it was located at 51 Upper Brook Street in Mayfair.^[2][3] A blue plaque there commemorates the poet George Seferis, who served as the Greek Ambassador from 1957 to 1961.^[4]

In 1975, the embassy moved to its current location in Holland Park, with the Mayfair building remaining as the Greek Ambassador's Residence.^[5]

In 1999, Kurdish protesters temporarily occupied the embassy in protest at the role of Greece in the capture of Kurdistan Workers' Party leader Abdullah Öcalan in Kenya.^[6]

Greece also maintains a National Tourism Organisation Office at 4 Great Portland Street, W1W 8QJ.^[7]
