British Embassy Open House Day

On May 14th the British Embassy will open its doors to the public as part of the annual European Union Embassies’ Open House.

 

The Residence has been at the very heart of the Anglo-American relationship since 1930, playing host to a never-ending stream of visitors, including most presidents since Hoover. Many members of the royal family have visited since King George VI made his famous visit in 1939, in the months leading up to the Second World War, becoming the first British head of state ever to come to the United States.

 

The free Open House Day offers visitors a rare look inside the Ambassador’s Residence and Gardens as we are celebrating the 90th birthday of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, 70th anniversary of the UK-US special relationship and the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death. The Embassy grounds will host an interactive and family-friendly bazaar celebrating UK culture, creativity, business and innovation. You can take a selfie with Shakespeare, sample some British food, check out the latest luxury British cars and find out about the NFL games in London later this year.

 

The day will also include

  • Access to the Ambassador’s Residence and symmetrical Gardens, including the rose garden and lawns, home to several trees planted by members of the Royal Family
  • Demonstrations from the UK’s defence industry showcasing the latest equipment and technology
  • Performances from Shakespearian players
  • A chance to win a James Bond gift-basket and tickets to the Spy Museum.

This is our ninth year of joining other EU embassies and a chance for each country to celebrate what makes it unique, but also our common bonds, and the bonds we share with the United States.
