Short profile:
Located at 4 Kensington Court, in the heart of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, the Embassy building is a part of the rich London architectural heritage. It was designed and built in the late nineteenth century. The outstanding British architect J J Stevenson (1831-1908) designed the building in "Queen Anne" style. J J Stevenson is known for the design and construction of a new building of Christ College in Cambridge and the University Chemical Laboratory. His works also include repairs to St John's College and Oriel College at Oxford.
