The Embassy of France, London

The embassy of France in London is located just off Knightsbridge at Albert Gate, one of the entrances to Hyde Park, directly opposite the Embassy of Kuwait. The building was designed by the British architect Thomas Cubitt.[1] At the time of its construction in the 1840s, it was among the tallest structures in the Knightsbridge area.[2]

France also owns various premises along the Cromwell Road, South Kensington which house its Consular, Cultural, Science & Technology and Visa sections.[3] It also has a Trade mission at 28-29 Haymarket and a Paymaster & Financial Comptroller section at 30 Queen's Gate Terrace, South Kensington,[4] while No. 11 Kensington Palace Gardens has been the French Ambassador's official residence since 1944.[5]
