The Embassy of Russia in London is the diplomatic mission of Russia in the United Kingdom.[1] The main building and Consular section is located at 5 and 6-7 Kensington Palace Gardens at the junction with Bayswater Road; the Ambassador's Residence is located in a separate building at 13 Kensington Palace Gardens (Harrington House).[2] Russia also maintains a Defence Attaché's Office at 44 Millfield Lane, Highgate, and an Office of the Trade Representative at 33 Highgate West Hill, Highgate.[3]

History

The embassy of the Russian Empire was located at Chesham Place, Belgravia;[4] this then functioned as the Embassy of the new Soviet Union from 1924 to 1927.[5] Diplomatic relations were suspended during the period 1927–1929, and following their resumption the Soviet government moved to the various buildings on Kensington Palace Gardens.

In 1946 the Soviet government bought Seacox Heath, a country house in East Sussex, as a weekend retreat for its staff.[6]

Following the dissolution of the USSR, the Russian Federation inherited the former Soviet properties in the UK.[7] But this was not recognized by Ukraine and in 1999 it initiated litigation, which like the case with most other former Soviet embassies around the world, left the situation unresolved.[8][9] Although previously the Russian Federation was able to register its property rights, it since then lost the rights to sell or rent it out.[10] In 2022 it was reported that the British Government was considering gifting the house at Seacox Heath to the Ukrainian Government as compensation for the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[11]

Protests

The embassy has seen several protests over the years:

During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, it was alleged that Russian planes bombed a children's hospital in Mariupol, Ukraine. Tweets from the Embassy of Russia about this were deleted by Twitter because the tweets were in violation of the Twitter Rules, specifically the 'Hateful Conduct and Abusive Behavior' policies related to the denial of violent events.[20]
