Embassy of the Czech Republic, London
The Embassy of the Czech Republic in London is the diplomatic mission of the Czech Republic in the United Kingdom.[1] It is located at the junction of Kensington Palace Gardens and Bayswater Road in a building it shares with the Embassy of Slovakia.[1] The Embassy of Czechoslovakia was originally located on Grosvenor Place, before moving to the location of the current Czech and Slovak embassies in 1970.[2] The construction of a new brutalist-style building at this site had begun in 1965 and was undertaken by Jan Bočan, Jan Šrámek and Karel Štěpánský from the atelier Beta Prague Project Institute; it received an award from the Royal Institute of British Architects for the best building in the United Kingdom created by foreign architects.[2] The building was then divided between the Czech Republic and Slovakia following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1993.
