Diplomatic mission
The Embassy of Kuwait in London is the diplomatic mission of Kuwait in the United Kingdom .[ 1] It is located just off Knightsbridge at Albert Gate, one of the entrances to Hyde Park . It is situated immediately opposite the French Embassy .[ 2]
The building, along with the rest of Albert Gate, was the creation of British architect Thomas Cubitt ; at the time of their construction in the 1840s they were by far the tallest structures in the neighbourhood.[ 3]
Kuwait also maintains a Health Office at 40 Devonshire Street , Marylebone and an Investment Office at Wren House, 15 Carter Lane, City of London .[ 4]
In 2011 a protest was held outside the embassy by Kuwaiti Bidoons alleging that the Kuwaiti government discriminates against their community.[ 5]
