| • | The Israeli Embassy to the United Kingdom is situated at 15a Old Court Place, in the London Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. It is the only diplomatic building of Israel in the United Kingdom. The building hosts the embassy and consular departments, as well as the defence attachè, and cultural departments.
Like all Israeli Embassies around the world, security around the London Embassy is extremely tight, with concrete blocks around the perimeter, and a full time armed police presence. Cars are not permitted to drive past the embassy. Although pedestrians can walk past the embassy on the other side of the road, it is forbidden to photograph outside the perimeter. The road to the embassy leads to Kensington Palace, and is blocked off by barriers and police patrols, making it one of the most secure streets in London.
The embassy has been a target of both terrorists, and anti-Israeli protests. The building was bombed on July 26, 1994, by Palestinian terrorists.
