Current building

Located just off Knightsbridge at Albert Gate, one of the entrances to Hyde Park, it is situated immediately opposite the Embassy of Kuwait. This building, along with the rest of Albert Gate and neighbouring buildings, were designed by the British architect Thomas Cubitt; his son, George Cubitt, who was created Baron Ashcombe in 1892, is Queen Camilla's great-great-grandfather.^[2]

At the time of these buildings' construction in the 1840s, they were by far the tallest structures in the Knightsbridge area.^[3]

Previously, the Embassy was housed at Derby House, 23/26 Grosvenor Square.^[4]
