Buildings in the UK

The FCO estate has several buildings in the UK, including our head office at King Charles Street in Westminster, London.

We also own and manage Lancaster House and Wilton Park which are buildings which we use for conferences and events.

The public had the opportunity to visit the Foreign Office in King Charles Street, near Downing Street, in central London during Open House London Weekend, 17 - 18 September 2011.

The Foreign Office will again be participating in the Open House London Weekend 2012, this year on 22 - 23 September.

You can view photos of King Charles Street taken by members of the public during the 2009 Open House London Weekend on our flickr channel.
