History

As of January 2018 the U.S. Embassy in London is located in a new building in Nine Elms.

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 U.S. government was one of the first institutions to buy into the visions for Nine Elms. The investment was a watershed moment in the area’s transformation, and provided an anchor for more businesses and jobs, bringing thousands of new neighbors to fuel economic revitalization. The Nine Elms site is closer to the United Kingdom’s major government offices and the Houses of Parliament that the previous Mayfair location.
