History

The British High Commission consists of a residency building and the main offices which sit across its courtyard. Between the two buildings is an eight feet high plinth statue of Queen Victoria, which was donated by the Punjab government. The complex is described as "a modern two-storeyed stone and concrete construction".[4] Its architect was Adrian Bell, who also designed the British embassy in Brasilia. The High Commission is secured by walls, barbed wire and security personnel who guard its entrance.[4]
